SCO got its just deserts

SCO got exactly what it deserved. It made outrageous assertions, which had they been true, would have been damaging to the reputations (and finances) of a large number of companies that sell systems with UNIX as well as companies that use systems with UNIX. Time after time the court asked for evidence to support SCO’s assertions, and SCO time after time failed to provide that evidence, restated their assertions in court and promised to provide the court with supporting evidence “soon”. And time after time SCO failed to come through on those promises it made in court. Clearly they knew they had no case and were hoping to extort money via settlements from companies that wanted to avoid the hassle of going to court. One can only hope that the courts will go after SCO with criminal charges as well. The integrity of the legal system requires that people who knowingly make false statements to the courts be prosecuted.
