Amazing

After 4+ years, not a single positive ruling, zero evidence ever exposed, the case utterly and completely destroyed from day 1, some group takes a $5Million (yes, it is NOT $100M, it is up to $100 million over time) gamble to bail out SCO and all of a sudden you ask what happens to your business if IBM takes this opportunity to settle?

I have to ask why you would put your credibility on the line and actually report your opinion tied to this article you linked as opposed to just reporting the facts?

Why would IBM, which, I would suggest that IBM is also a group of people who can buy all the legal talent in the world who?ve looked at SCO?s evidence and one GLARING facts comes into view, why settle now?

SCO had a ton of momentum in the early going, presumably, at that time, if IBM had anything to be afraid of, they WOULD have settled. Why spend upwards of 10-20-30? million themselves defending what can only be described to this point as a SPAM campaign, now that SCO has some rich folks taking a flyer?

Finally, People who, if they do win, won?t just take IBM and Red Hat and Novell to the cleaners,, this is an example of absolute FUD at this point. The ENTIRE CASE, at this point, such as a miserable state it is in, DOES NOT EVEN INCLUDE LINUX. It is a simple contract dispute. Linux is no longer even a part of the proceedings, except as far as SCO got a summary judgement against them since they themselves are in breach of their contract.

I just don't understand your reasoning, and to be honest, the "Enderlyness" of this blog entry astounds me. Normally I read your blogs (while not always agreeing with them) as thought provoking, the above however, is...well, I hate to say it, will make you look like a Didiot.
