Ah, it's simple. Offer a license to users of SCO Unix operating systems that include Linux intellectual property. Grant them indemnity for any past violations of Linux IP, for just $10,000 per CPU.

I'm afraid SCO won't really care if they lose all their customers because of this.

Which customers ?

Seriously, I suggested to a few sysadmin friends of mine that SCO should be boycotted because of this mess.

Every single one of them responded with: "Fine, but this wouldn't change anything because I don't have, or intend to ever have, any SCO-product in my shop anyway."
