lordshipmayhemFinally, at long last, we've had a response in the SCOX vs. "World&dog" cases, specifically the SCOX vs. Novell battlefield.
It did not go well for The SCO Group, a.k.a. "The Most Hated Company in Technology" (for the year 2006 - impressive that this sackful of mental midgets managed to out-do Microsoft in this category).
They came marching onto numerous fields of corporate war claiming that their "precssscioussss" Intellectual Property was in Linux, thanks to IBM and a couple of other companies, and that everyone owed $699 per CPU to them (soon to go up to $1,499, so pay up now while the price is cheap!!).
They are now trying to figure out which route they can retreat through (especially when completely surrounded by ravenous, armour-plated wolves mounting very heavy cannon in their turrets), as they are left without much of a leg to stand on in any of their cases. For it is not SCOX which owns Unix, it is Novell. And Novell has previously ordered SCO to drop every action against IBM, which they didn't.
The story's not over yet, but Monday, SCOX's price ought to be real fun to watch. They closed at $1.55 a share on Friday. I'm wondering if they'll stay north of $0.20 on Monday.
