You can't say that Dean is a war monger because he likes government, there have been other presidents that have liked big government but not been in favor of wars (see Bill Clinton who only sent his troops into Kosovo because the UN was asking for US help). Or Jimmy Carter who is still known for being one of the biggest advocates of peace in the world.

word up to my biatches on the west side.
Most (possibly all) Microsoft employees are required to sign a nondislosure agreement saying that not now nor not ever will they disclose any information about projects or products they have worked on while with Microsoft.
Microsoft's code is not open source so its not seen by the public or anyone else for that matter so even if you wanted to sue microsoft for using your code you would have to have some damn good evidence (like the code itself). So if I'm microsoft and I know that know one outside of my own company knows what my code looks like then I'm not going to worry myself with Licensing. How would SCO ever prove that they were infringing, they can't just go ask a judge to let them inspect the code of every os ever built, that would give away too many trade secerets, which is the basis to the whole lawsuit anyways.
Another note on this issue, why would Microsoft wait so long to license UNIX? Unix has been around much longer then Microsoft so don't you think its strange that they would wait until now, after SCO files a $1 Billion lawsuit against IBM, finally license UNIX? The timing seems kind of strange.
Why would Microsoft license a company that distributes software that is a DIRECT competitor to their Server software? Would it be to infuse a poor company with money so they can fight a lengthy legal process? I would be willing to bet the farm.
Here are a few nice little story about it:

There have also been reports about Microsoft being in on several Cash investments that SCO has recieved over the last several months.

Those tools have been around for a long time. Why wait until the last 6 months to License?

Sun licenses UNIX because they have their on VERSION of Unix that they like to sell with their server hardware.

Its not an assumption that Microsoft is supporting SCO I have read about it on this very website. Do a search for it.
