Dancin' with the one what brung ya?

So, are you just saying that SCO [not a statement, just looks less like a typo that way] oughta do what Baystar wants because it's Baystar's moolah? Ethically, I'm sure you're right. ("Ethics-wise, da guy hasn't got any!" -- Millers Crossing)

But I also have an ethical problem -- really, I guess, an aesthetic problem, when you come down to it -- with companies that buy "IP" to make money off it. Their histrionics ring false to me; I get ill whenever I hear Darl McB talk about what's 'rightfully theirs' ('cuz they bought it, wot?).

Baystar's in a pretty suspicious place in all of this, anyway; I'm willing to accept that the $20M wasn't channeled directly from MS, I guess. So many things happen at that level because Guys Like That all know what's good for one another without having to actually conspire.

What this move says, ultimately, may boil down to: "Darl isn't one of us."
