And Smith! Holy, schmanoly. This could well be the Death knell of the SCOG v <insert pretty much anyone using linux> saga. I can see Darl being reeled back in... maybe even being cut loose. I can also see things going from SCOG ---> Caldera. In an attempt at PR Triage. Matter of fact there ARE rumblings even in Novell about re-acquisition of Caldera/SCOG. And yes Peter, this is from the same list of people I still keep in contact with @Novell. And yes, the old ideas about merging NIX and Linux technologies was originally thought of @Novell... yes they never were dropped either, just put on a shelf somewhere. The whole fiasco of SCOG (SCOX) might just be a memory soon. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ i_wethey* [link\|http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=134485&cid=11233230\|"Microsoft Security" is an even better oxymoron than "Military Intelligence"] No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source]

Furthermore while the settlement may protect this trio of wrongdoers from the Canopy group, will it protect them from an expanding web of countersuits? I'm still hoping that a trail leads back to Microsoft, and IBM nails them for huge damages.
