Interesting SCO Happenings

This last week has been a really interesting one for SCO:
- After threatening for months, SCO finally sued some Linux end-users. Their case against Autozone is basically this: Autozone converted all their Unix apps to Linux really smoothly, so they must have used SCO intellectual property to do it. Obvious isn’t it? Note the frequency with which the complaint uses the phrase, “on information and belief.”
- ESR got hold of a memo leaked from SCO, and promptly labelled it Halloween X. The memo indicates that Microsoft have been moving heaven and earth to ensure SCO don’t run out of money. I wonder why Microsoft would give money to a competitor?
- C|Net explore the revision history embedded in a SCO Word document, providing some insight into SCO‘s thinking. Unfortunately, C|Net don’t reveal the document’s source or question its authenticity.
