SUING MACHINE SCO said it has come up with a smoking gun in its files and discovered that IBM hasn’t got the proper licences for its AIX operating system.
This never ends, does it? I bet it has something to do with linux. 
You think?
And I wonder if the IBM announcment about SP2 has anything to do with this. Interesting little war, eh?

I have been using your portal as a homepage since its inceptiona and connot believe I beat the tech guru to the blogosphere. I’m stunned. Just kidding. I look forward to reading your blog on a regular basis. One question: What aggregator do you use? Feed Demon?

End of the Forbes article was telling – it’s pretty bad when your company’s biggest investor wants you to become a “litigation machine”:
Linux zealots will no doubt write off SCO’s latest claim as yet another PR ploy. Maybe they would be right. Or maybe SCO is misreading IBM e-mails. Or maybe the e-mails were written by IBMers who didn’t know what they were talking about. Or maybe–just maybe–SCO is onto something.
One certain thing is that SCO has lost none of its appetite for litigation. To date the firm has sued IBM, Novell , AutoZone, and DaimlerChrysler . Also, SCO has been sued by Red Hat. Now SCO threatens to bring a new complaint against IBM.
Indeed, SCO says the company’s biggest investor, BayStar Capital, has been pushing SCO to drop its Unix business altogether and simply become a litigation machine, bringing intellectual property-related lawsuits. But SCO insists it remains committed to selling Unix software–when it’s not busy fighting people in court.
Watch Out SCO, IBM “DP” stands for deep pockets when it comes to legal matters as they have an bevy of barristers bent on breaking the back of those who would block their freedom of action. The real winners will be in Redmond.
