] SCO's scheme is already unraveling. Now, after suing IBM
] when it refused to pay up or buy it out, hitting up
] Microsoft for a so called "license" for $10 million (that
] it probably didn't need) and mugging Sun for about $8
] million in "protection" (likely a wash versus the cost of
] a lawsuit), SCO has apparently run out of big Unix
] vendors. HP and SGI aren't saying but they must have told
] SCO to take a hike. As have the largest Japanese Unix and
] Linux vendors, Fujitsu and NEC. So SCO has threatened big
] Linux users with potential lawsuits in a desperate ploy
] to replace flatlining Unix revenues. But most IT pundits
] and the users aren't buying SCO's FUD act. And the reason
] for this is vocal grass roots Open Source opposition from
] the Linux developer community and thousands of individual
] users. It is not what SCO expected when it launched its
] license extortion scam.
