Here's some text from the above-mentioned SCO Licensing FAQ:

"Q: I have Linux servers deployed in my organization. What options do I have besides purchasing a SCO IP license?

A: There are 3 options for you to evaluate:

* You have the option to do nothing, adopt a “wait and see” attitude, and hope that SCO is not serious about enforcing its intellectual property rights in the end user community.

* You can replace all servers, desktop and embedded uses of Linux.

* You can obtain a license from SCO to use SCO IP in binary form in Linux distributions"

It's the second option that has me wondering, who really will benefit from all this industrial-strength FUD... the name of a certain company in Redmond keeps coming to mind more and more...

The image that keeps coming to mind is a big bully and his yapping pooch on a short leash.
