Re: I wonder if someone wants the MS bounty.

well, SCO is the private law firm by M$... looks like two heads in one stone...

not that I approve of worms, I got enough mail as it is. and not that it is necessary in any rate, the SCO group is unbelieved anyway...

they just take dollars from M$ and spend them on lawyers...

  Actually, Micro$oft was(maybe still is) a large owner of SCO stock. SCO and Microsoft have always been linked together.

IMHO, SCO has always sucked, but until late (the lawsuits) they only made their customers unhappy, now they are trying real hard to make the whole world unhappy.

The only form of life lower than SCO is the scum that launches attacks on them by sending us all viruses.

They haven't always been linked together as such. SCO had an anti-trust suit against Microsoft over DR-DOS some time ago.

Yeah, ever since SCO was bought out, and became SCO Group, they've been one of the more letigious groups for sure.

The lawsuit was between Caldera and MS. SCO bought Caldera after the lawsuit was over.

Let's get this straight... SCO (Santa Cruz Operation, now known as Tarantella) sold its UNIX business to Caldera International. SCO changed its name to Tarantella and Caldera changed its name to The SCO Group. The litigous SCO Group is in reality a reinvented Caldera International, a well known LINUX developer and distribution.
