What Red Hat should probably do

SCO update
It would be interesting, since SCO claims in the trial with Red Hat that
they aren't threatening anyone, if Red Hat offered to settle for triple
the award in any future lawsuit that SCO makes of that sort. Then Red Hat
could split this award 50/50 with anyone who loses such a suit, giving a
net profit to any Red Hat customer who loses a lawsuit with SCO. That
would be a really great deal.
Of course, it would also destroy SCO's PR ability. But rejecting the
offer makes it clear to the judge that they do intend to threaten Red Hat
customers.
