Unless something totally deus ex machina happens here, it's over. SuSE will prevail under contract law in the ICC arena, and IBM's going to rip SCO a new one here in the States. It's all over but the screaming as IBM's legal department makes SCO and everyone associated with their side of this their new hobby.

What *I'm* wondering about is what happens after the SCO decisions come back - how bad is it about to get for Microsoft? IBM's still pissed about OS/2, and now here's MS trying to screw them again. And IBM possesses the resources to take on MS and win.

Wow! Talk about being burned, SCO really should have just tried one fight at a time. What I don't know (I am not a lawyer) is if the arbitration goes in favor of Suse how, if at all, does it affect the suit involving RedHat?
