SCO gets $50 millionSCO gets $50 millionPosted Oct 17, 2003 14:42 UTC (Fri) by Cato (subscriber, #7643)Parent article: SCO gets $50 million Good to see a much less biased report on SCO backing away from invoicing Linux users - it's clear that SCO is climbing down due to the threat of being prosecuted for mail fraud if it loses the IBM case. Entertaining to see the amazing spin being put on this, and yet more good money chasing bad, though...

SCO gets $50 million Posted Oct 17, 2003 15:12 UTC (Fri) by jre (guest, #2807) [Link] Yes -- entertaining and disturbing at the same time.Let's not forget that the same gang of criminals is still running SCO. It does not seem likely that they have given up on making money through extortion, even if this particular avenue has been closed to them for the moment. They know that, given their well-earned reputation, their chances of making money on Linux legitimately are now zip. And they now have, as Groklaw puts it, "$50 Million to Do More Bad Things With." Jon -- we know that SCO controls these teleconferences with an iron hand, excluding any non-sympathetic press. But is there any chance at all that someone can slip in with a pointed question about why SCO is giving up the invoice threat, and whether it may be revived?
