It's not all that necessary to get SCO under an injunction that modifies their behavior if their actions in this case hurt their credibility sufficiently. If SCO appears to be stalling, and Red Hat appears to be confidant, especially after evidence is disclosed to Red Hat, analysts can't miss the sharp difference between SCO's behavior in court and in the press, and it won't matter what they say. They've recovered 2/3 of the hit their stock took from this news by saying they're looking for to proving their claims in court; if they seem to delay, it becomes clear this is not the case, and the whole thing looks like a scam.

The whole thing already looks like a scam, even many analysts acknowledge that.

Those who invest currently in SCO stock, bet on short- and mid-term wins because it is a scam.
