[ from the fuck-off-and-die dept. ]
I was reading about the latest installment in the SCO-IBM issue. IBM (quite rightly) refuse to settle and SCO are blindly pressing on while being laughed at by everyone else. They got in a bit of hot water, brought in new management, and they decided that it made more sense to extort money than make or sell products (especially with Microsoft providing monies in “licensing fees” for technology they do not need). So what if someone in IBM might have used 80 lines of SCO “Intellectual Property” – that code can probably be re-written in minutes anyway. They should just accept they lost as a company and give up while they still have even half a reputation left.
