Thanks for the link!  It's quite funny that SCO's claims are so clueless.

My wife is an attorney for J.D. Edwards.  They have a big agreement with IBM 
($50M) that she negotiated last year , so she is aware of IBM, it's culture 
and business practices.  

When I told her that IBM was being sued by SCO, her reply was 'Who?'  I think 
that speaks volumes about how few business folks have heard of SCO.

I don't think SCO will even make it to court.  I think they are looking to get 
some cash out of IBM and/or be acquired by them.  IMHO, neither will happen 
and SCO's case will be either thrown out or they will lose.
