SCO Claims $15,300,000 From SCOsource

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dry-understatement dept.

Hollins writes "Yesterday, SCO filed their latest 10-Q. In it, they claim over fifteen million dollars in revenue from their SCOsource initiative (mostly from Microsoft and Sun) with a decline in revenue from all other sources. A lot of interesting statements are in the 10-Q, including "The success of our SCOsource licensing initiative, at least initially, will depend to a great extent on the perceived strength of our intellectual property and contractual claims and our willingness to enforce our rights. Many, particularly those in the open source community, dispute the allegations of infringement that we have made"."

      Oh god.

      It is SO fashionable to insult Darl McBride. But the fact is, that man is out there every night giving all he can to make us laugh, and it's always fresh material! And he's positively charming when he tries to sue people!

Write-downs of intangible assets may be necessary if the future fair value of these assets is less than carrying value.


    So..... SCO goodwill anyone? C'mon, who's hiding all the SCO goodwill? Bill, what's that you are hiding behind your back there? Why do you have lots of goodwill towards SCO, Bill?

    Dear Linux User,

    Follow the instructions in this chain letter EXACTLY, or HORRIBLE things will happen to you! Mr. L. Penguin threw away this letter, and was sentenced to five years in a Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass Prison for UNIX(c) patent infringement. Meanwhile, B. Gates followed the instructions to the letter, and made a million dollar gain in the stock market the very next day!

    Step 1: Send $660 to the first name on this list.

    Step 2: Move the first name on the list to the third position on the list, and move the other names up one place.

    Step 3: Do NOT put your own name on the list, or you too will be sent to a Federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass Prison.

    Step 4: Pass this letter on to all your friends who use Linux.
