No, but they are the biggest, and they are
the only ones they care about.

All SCO parties deny any MS involvement,
but the money started to flow directly
after the unix license fees were announced
and MS ponied up. MS didn't bat an eye
and wrote the check. The the trouble really
started.

It'll take a lot more convincing than just
a SCO mouthpiece making blanket denials
to get me to think that this was purely
coincidental.

Also, seems I remember some docs leaked from MS just
as the totally bogus settlement in the antitrust
case was comming down, that indicated that linux
and the gpl were M$'s biggest worry. There was futher
talk about how M$ was going to battle with Linux
via proxy. Then september happened.
