    SCO and IBM will sue each other out of business, and we'll all live happily ever after. Remember IBM sux also, they write crappy code and sent all their software jobs to India. (maybe I'm just bitter because I have to fix their crappy code, and thet sent my job to India..) PS (If you're job hasn't been sent over seas yet, wait a few minutes..)

    Ok, IANALBIJTTO (I am not a lawyer, but I just talked to one) about this

    Well thank God we've got a genuine IANALBIJTTO insight into this case. After all SCO and IBM barely know how to spell L-A-W-Y-E-R, neither have actually hired any. If you hadn't run this by a buddy while you were trimming the hedges we'd still be muddling through this mess. Fortunately the judge in this case will likely read about your neighbour's opinion and make a summary dismissal. Thanks for running this by a lawyer friend, I think we've achieved real closure here!
