Msft isn't the only company funding SCO's campaign. Sun has been secretly funding SCO for months.

Sun is behind it

Be careful what you say Walter! When I pointed out (in the middle of another anti-MS comment thread) some time ago how obvious it was that Sun had (at a minimum) prior knowledge of SCO's planned legal attack against Linux, I was flamed with the breathless accusation "what does Sun have to do with this?". I expected then, and continue to expect, further revelations regarding Sun's key role in SCO's anti-Linux campaign. My sense is that Microsoft's actions were opportunistic, while Sun's role is strategic.
