> These two points taken together may result in SCO being convicted of extortion. I think they really slipped up by trying to collect "protection money" without even saying what it's for. That looks real bad.


I think the binary only thing they claim is so that they would not have to identify any source as they would not actually license the source just the right to run a binary.

The sad thing is that there probably is people that will pay but long term what they are doing is going to fail it just is to many smart people on the opposit side for SCO to win this. But the legal system in US seems to reward this kind of behaviour. :(
