You've had just the very full day haven't you?
I've been trying to follow your arguements.. let's see if I've got them right...
The SCO Source SCAM is okay, because the SCO License for Linux is a *merged product*, which is specifically allowed for in the Novell-Santa Cruz APA. So, you're saying Caldera put Unixware and Open Sewer Code in Linux? 'Kay.
Novell did sell Santa Cruz the copyrights to UnixWare, they just didn't bother writing that down, anywhere. (No one ever told those people to *always* get a reciept?)
Caldera's deal with SUN and Microsoft is okay, and Caldera doesn't have to pay Novell any part of it because they weren't licensing UnixWare to those companies. I'm completely willing to accept that; WTF would Microsoft or SUN want with that crufty old operating system? Naturally, however, that does raise the question of what, precisely, did those two companies get. I guess we're about to find out, eh?
Anyway, Biff, you should try get some sleep; you've got many hard days of trolling ahead of you. This whole scam is about to come apart at the seams. The quarter's just ended so the funds are not going to be so closely focused on the price; I kind of expect it to hit the skids first thing on Monday morning.
Hey, buck up, kiddo, at least *you* didn't sign any of Caldera's SEC filings. That part is Darl's, Bob Bench's and Bert Young's problem. (Five Million Dollars and up to 20 years in the hole. Man, that's gonna suck, eh?)
KWL
On the bright side, Biff, the end of this is now in sight - I'd give it 90 days, tops.
