Report from the SCO front
(First of all, "...needed to file a breach of contract suit to force SCO"
should be "...to force Novell")
About the impact of SCO/Novell, I think a major effect is that it divides
SCO's attention and delays SCO's efforts to get income. Before this came
up, they could try to fund their suit with IBM by getting Linux
licensees; now they have a second suit to fund, and they're unlikely to
have any licensees until it's over.
As for SCO's letter to Congress, I have to wonder if IBM will send a
letter to Congress to mention that the reason SCO is upset is that IBM
has sued them for massive copyright infringement which SCO thinks it
should be able to get away with.
