Prospects for the Linux market are clouded by Unix software maker SCO Group's (Nasdaq: SCOX) aggressive litigation. SCO claims current versions of Linux from Red Hat, Novell and IBM (NYSE: IBM) infringe on its intellectual property. It wants $5 billion in compensation. The threat of lawsuits has a lot of big Linux customers very worried.

The other points in the article make sense, but does fear of SCO really remain a factor?

Motely Fool has NEVER been favorable to Linux and has never been unfavorable to Microsoft. When it comes to Linux they live up to the fool part of their name! SCO hasn't been a seriouis threat for months.

Actually, Motley Fool has had a few very anti-SCO articles in the past
few months. They're linked from Yahoo! Finance every now and then, and
they are quite interesting.
