Fearless prediction: SCO's lawsuit isn't going to get a chance to happen. IBM buys SCO. End of lawsuit, end of story. I think this is the outcome the tattered remnants of SCO wanted in the first place.

Ah, but United Linux is much more than just Suse 8.1. No one part of United Linux is greater than any other part. Caldera, Conectiva, SuSE and Turbolinux have all combined into one Linux distro.
A big well known network gear manufacturer has decided to rename itself 'CI'.
Its spokesman stated : 'With those #@$à3 guys there over at SCO, we didn't wanted anymore to have this acronym inside our name, so we just removed it'

...as independent reports confirm. So before you're forced to buy Windows and go to the Dark Side, come on over to the BSD. It's like the Other Light Side Of The Force.
FreeBSD is an excellent choice of operating system. We're happy to share it with any poor Linux refugees such as yourself. I think you've all suffered enough.

Big Blue that is. IBM. Deeeep pockets. Moola moooola....
So they filed them a lawsuit a couple billion deep allegin' Blue had fed that bird through source code feature creep. Blue an' Penguin shook their heads, an' marvelled at this feat, sayin' "Not our faults you silly gits ain't able to compete..."

In a surprise news announcement, the Chairman of rambus announces a historic merger with SCO unix.
"The merged company - to be called RAMBO - will be poised to respond to the challenges of the 21st century" Chairman David Boies said today.
"We are in the enviable position of controlling both hardware and software Intellectual property"
Boies also announced Rambo's decision to sue Microsoft for the use of the name "windows".
and it's use for networking.
"I came up with the idea of windows networking
30 years ago" Boies said. "When I was a kid I opened the window and yelled to my friends that it was time to play baseball. This involved using a window to spread information to them. In other words, Windows networking"
Slashdot Mirror
SUSE spokesman Bruce Campbell was quoted as saying... "Look man, I dont even know these assholes!"
Fire in the hands of the village idiot is no tool, but a weapon of mass destruction
SCO lets loose with one of the silent-but-deadly variety, and everybody is still in the room?
Is this truly the only Earth I can live on?
Run like your thong is on fire....
I would not let my dog be associated with the three lettter acronym SCO.
Got Code?
Twenty years ago, I never would have believed that I'd be rooting for IBM's lawyers today.
