This proposed buy-out (since canceled, see my previous post) was apparently another backdoor funding of SCO's anti-Linux litigation by Microsoft. From theInquirer, dated Sunday, 28 October 2007, 12:31 PM:

As a matter of fact, JGD Management Corp., doing business as York Capital Management, shares its street address at 1118 East Green Street in Pasadena, California 91106, with Arrowhead Research Corp. The CEO and Chairman of Arrowhead Research is R. Bruce Stewart, who also founded Acacia Research Corp. Acacia Research is the parent of IP Innovation, the company that recently filed patent infringement lawsuits against Linux distributors Red Hat and Novell. Suddenly all of this ties together and becomes clearer.

Just as SCO was and remains Microsoft's puppet, with its lawsuits against IBM, Novell and others funded out of Redmond through a sham Unix licence and PIPE-fairy strings running through Bay Star Capital, IP Innovation and York Capital Management are now Microsoft cats-paws, filing patent lawsuits against Linux and funneling more funding to SCO to keep its litigation FUD campaign alive, respectively. York is merely Microsoft's bag-man here.
