Re: Showdown looms for SCO-IBM?
From IBM: From: Bob Samson Vice President, Systems Sales IBM Systems Group IBM Will Continue to Ship, Support and Develop AIX -- the Industry's Fastest Growing UNIX Operating System As you know, The SCO Group (formerly Caldera) filed a lawsuit claiming IBM improperly contributed licensed intellectual property to Linux. In addition, The SCO Group sent IBM a letter purporting to terminate IBM's license for the UNIX code used in the AIX operating system on June 13, 2003. However, IBM's agreement says that our license is irrevocable, perpetual, and fully paid up. We will continue to ship, support and develop AIX as our strategic UNIX operating system. For IBM, AIX represents years of innovation, hundreds of millions of dollars in investment and many key IBM patents. As we continue to vigorously defend ourselves against The SCO Group's allegations, it's important for you to reinforce our commitment to AIX with your customers. To help you understand The SCO Group's allegations and explain our position to your customers, we have created a brief, one-page QA with pertinent information. While it's primarily for your education, this document can also be shared with your customers. In addition, we encourage you to work closely with your local legal counsel to help respond to customer concerns. If, after going through this process, a sales opportunity remains at risk due to customer concerns or questions about The SCO Group lawsuit, please send the details directly to me at my Bob Samson Flash/Somers/IBM id. My team will get you the assistance you need promptly.

Re: Showdown looms for SCO-IBM?
SCO would have been a good bet this AM. The stock is up $1.64 to $10.69 a share. The current wire on SCO is: 7:24AM SCO Group might be due for significant payout -- B-Week (SCOX) 9.05: SCO Group, which provides UNIX-based software and is the owner of the license to distribute the UNIX platform, might receive $1 bln from a previous lawsuit it filed in Mar against IBM. In addition, the stock has gone from $3.55 in mid-May to $8.65 on June 11th due to an earnings surprise of a profit totaling $4.5 mln or $0.33 per share vs. last year's loss of $0.47 per share. A fund manager says that even if SCO settles for just 10% of the $1 bln, the impact on the bottom line of SCO, with a market cap of $115 mln, would be huge. Despite the outcome, the fund manager expects the co to earn $1.30 a share in FY04 and believes the co is on track to double in 12 months.

Total value of the company is $129 Million - up from $40M before the suit. After they lose the case, it will be a penny stock, and we can buy it and GPL all of its IP.

Re: Showdown looms for SCO-IBM?
That assumes they settle but my guess is that IBM will fight it and that SCO will not win in which case they get nothing and their stock will tank. Lionel B.

Re: Showdown looms for SCO-IBM?
Sorry, SCO is going nowhere. This is just a bunch of pilpul from SCO designed to bid the price up just long enough so that the brass can cash out at a fools expense. And, the fund manager will of course be well rewarded for whoring himself out for the cause. This proves beyond a shadow of doubt that it 's not just Enron that's run by jerks.
