Cheers Anton As usual SCO are being Economical with the truth The 6000 licences are the number of **UNIX** licenses which have been sold since the dawn of time. SCOs last 10K filing states that not a single company has bought their 'Linux IP license' For the truth on SCO check out www.groklaw.net derek -- -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Markets are abuzz with increasing speculation that Google will seek an initial public offering sometime this year. Ouch. 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 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

From what I've read, the business community, and I can assume investors as a subset, are not taking SCO's shenanigans very seriously. The lure of investing in a huge potential like Google I'm sure will overcome any FUD coming from Utah.
