NOT SO
SCO gets several million a year from Microsoft. They have gotten 0$ from Novel, IBM, etc. And hopefully they won't win anything from IBM or Novel. SCO has a decent operating system, but they need to compete in today's market - not get paid for something that someone else developed just because it is similar to what they developed. Microsoft can't sue WordPerfect or IBM just because they have a similar office suite to MS Office!
