That's got to hurt.
At $1400 per server (the post-October 15 license fee), my take is that SCO is hoping that Google decides its just cheaper to buy SCO out. This whole thing is just blackmail. IBM didn't bite, RedHat didn't bite, Novell didn't bite, so now they've turned their sights on Google. In the meantime, the SCO top dogs (and truly, they are a bunch of SOB's) keep selling off a chunk of stock every time their PR releases pump up the stock price. -- cmg
