Cash incentive for open source community from SCO?

Christopher Blizzard writes "It looks like SCO wants access to reverse engineer Microsoft's Remote Display Protocol to avoid the extraordinary licensing fees for their terminal servers. According to this article they may be willing to " offer a cash incentive to the open source programming community"." Note that the product is currently commercial and not open-source... but if SCO were to pay for its development and make it into free software, this would be a good move for all non-Windows OS's.
