Are those bastards STILL around? Hopefully, not for much longer...

Does this mean and end to this whole silly and sorry saga?

SCO are a laughing stock in the industry and have been pretty much since they switched from writing UNIX applications to waving their tiny todgers around like demented kids in the hope that it would frighten people into capitulating to their ridiculous licensing scam.

Deserved to go.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Oh that's the best thing I've read all year.

Maybe the remaining execs can escape in their trusty Moller SkyCar.

Is that a fat lady I can hear singing in the background??

"We plan to oppose the motion and present our own suggested course of action to the court."

Later today, SCO spokesghouls will announce the company's intentions to sue all manufacturers, vendors and consumers of SCOnes, as they are obviously and perniciously using copyrighted SCO code in their products without a licence. Expect Sun's canteen in Sanata Clara to be the first to fold and fork out for a licence whilst the rest of the World points and laughs.

feel like bursting into song?

Ding, dong the witch is dead!

Which old witch?

The wicked witch...

Poor SCO. At some point I may consider, thinking about, maybe, possibly, giving a second thought to perhaps, potentially, almost shedding something resembling a tear for SCO and it's execs.

Ok so the truth is I wont even come close to doing that, but hey at least it sounded good for a fraction of a second.

Now for the real thing. Taking Microsoft down. <insert favourite Tux saying here>.

"SCO" != "The SCO Group".

SCO bought enough rights to conduct their business but were then bought by Caldera followed by Caldera renaming itself as "The SCO Group". The people suing are not the same people who negotiated the sale with Novell.

I know it's confusing but that distinction is extremely important.

they still aren't dead. Damn, SCO is harder to kill than Rasputin.

"We are reviewing the motion with counsel and will have a detailed response for the court in due course,"

My doesn't time fly when your looking for finance.

It does look like only they are less a shell company and more a shill company for some one.

Can I presume that anyone with enough cash to buy this rump (because that is what is left of them) at the price *they* think they are worth has done enough due diligence not to?

Who'd have thought it. Sometime the money men do the right thing.

This is not the time for mercy.

and what ever happened to POSIX, the federal standard for *NIX operating systems?

Paris cause i still....

Maybe Novel or IBM could buy the remnants - nice irony.

Burn the witch ! Scatter the ashes, mix them with salt !

"Damn, SCO is harder to kill than Rasputin"

But somewhat like Phorm. Still Nebuad are dead and buried. These guys are like those super weeds you hear about. The kind only the sort of weed killer that professional gardeners can buy can kill.

But there are plenty of professional gardeners and there is no shortage of weed killer.

Of course there's always fire.

Eh, wasn't SCO Micro$oft's open source Linux project

KILL IT WITH FIRE!

HA HA HA, Die already! Go on!

(Paris, because she'll do tits-up, unlike SCO)

Old SCO sold their trademark, and the OpenServer & UnixWare IP to Caldera. Caldera some time later changed their name to "SCO Group" which they could do as they then owned the trademark. The original SCO company changed their name to "Tarantella", and then years later was taken over by Sun (and we know what's happened to them!)

And good bloody riddance to SCaldera, in my opinion. Old SCO was a good company, and all SCaldera ever did was drag their good name through the mud.

I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure!

Its about time!!!

Put a merciful end to SCO; drive a goddamn silver stake right through its corporate heart.

Then take its worthless 'body' and let it burn in hell.

Then go after its execs.

This charade needs to be over!

Flames - because that is how SCO went down.

Needed , a smart Judge , who will Give any and all software over to the public domain

sell the assets and give the preceeds to itself to pay for the gov s expenses.....

1. this gives all companies affected by the illegal behavior of the SCO company a chance to move on with out going through this again with another troll

2. all users , the above plus , no worries , and a future

3. the lawyers , the chance to get better software in the future , with out undue pricing or lawsuits over use of their software . [like they just tried to do]

4.all of us , the smug satisfaction that the lawyers got no money , the legal system works [on occasion], software troll can not only lose ,but end up giving it all the way [ losing it all ] and a warning to all companies about lawsuits..and greed..

5. stock holders , a warning to stop exec greed [YOU OWN THE COMPANY NOT THE EXECS.}

6 . me , not get angry over this stupid crap..............

That is all.
