Having read the complaint, SCO was clearly doomed

Their case for having a good business opportunity is based on their not understanding the basics of disruptive markets.

Which Linux clearly was recognized to be well before IBM.

(I hope that IBM gets Larry Ellison to talk about why Oracle did their Linux port well before IBM made any noises of supporting Linux...)

Cheers,
Ben
