Try to hijack Linux with bogus patent and copyright claims, watch your business go to the crapper.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving Darlek (sic).

Aww, so sad to hear that they sued themselves into bankruptcy...And now are getting sued by Novell.

"At the end of October SCO got an offer for its Unix business."

two pints of ale and a bag of ready salted peanuts?

Why? Are the Vogons coming already?

Andy,

Surely that overvalues the current share value significantly - are you attempting to seed some kind of market overinflation for your shares so that you can by a pint yourself later on?

Outrageous market manipulation like this should not be seen on the El Reg comment area!

Crikey. All those poor people with money in Red Hat are going to be disappointed then.

Remember, all generalisations are wrong.

There have been companies built on tenuous business plans since the beginnings of business. Imagine how stupid google would look if no one used this internet thing.

Or how smart Genuity would look if Verizon had bought them back. Or what would be left of Apple if there wasn't a market for flashy, overpriced, proprietary music players?

No risk, no reward.

SCO was left with no viable product, no market, and no plan. Look how long they've stayed in business!

I think we're all in the wrong racket here. Even Paris Hilton has made a career out of a weak plan with little substance.
