The original article is incorrect in assuming that one weak adversary that caves to SCO would save them, it will not. Why? There is the little matter of Redhat and IBM with pending lawsuits against SCO including Major copyright infringement cases which could result in substantial liabilities for SCO when the most likely outcome of these cases occurs. Even if SCO settles they are going to be left with some hefty bills. The best the current SCO gang can hope for is that some sucker will come along and bail them out and the open source community has to put up with these new fools until SCO is finally ground into the dust of the utah desert. What is most ammusing is people throwing money at SCO. That is like buying a ticket on the titanic while watching it sink.

Any settlements would, however, provide the company with a bit of money to make more mischief and a great deal of PR fodder. It would not be a good thing.
