Here's a company that won't support SCO. Begin forwarded message:

Later Caldera raised the bar with their Lizard installer, it was a major leap forward in Linux ease of use. Then Caldera went public, and started going a bit loopy with various acquisitions, in particular the acquisition of SCO, which is now the name of the company. A few days ago SCO filed a $1 BILLION dollar lawsuit against IBM, the basis for which is essentially this: Linux could not have made so much progress so quickly unless IBM had used their knowledge of Unix through their licensed AIX, to do it. You can read a short summary story at http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/03/07/1728239.shtml?tid=3 Now as some have opined, it would appear a ploy on SCO's part to get IBM to just purchase them since their market cap is only $22 Million, far less than their lawsuit. In any case, we, like many, find this behavior despicable on SCO's part and will not support them in any way any more. It's not like SCO/Caldera was a player any more on the desktop, their last release was about 18 months ago in this market.
