Check out thier stock price:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=SCOX&d=c&k=c1&a=v&p=s&t=5y&l=on&z=m&q=l My guess is they're just about out of buisness and they just made up this crap so that some of thier connected stockholders can cash out.
Even if their claim was valid. Only IBM would be liable, and for what? They gave it away free, so the only thing SCO can get is damages to it's buisness. They distributed Linux too. Red Hat, Suse and like will just replace the offending code.
Guess what SCO's screwed. Why? Because they sell a proprietary Unix for x86 and someone is giving it away for free. Let's hope this happens to Micro$oft too.

That's a gross oversimplification. Red Hat, IBM -- in short, anybody that distributed the kernel could be liable. But time will tell whether SCO can prove its case.

Check out thier stock price: How does that fit with a timeline of events? It looks as though the stock hit a low of about $1.50 around June'02 and has gone up more than 8-fold to $12.50. It crossed $3.13 in Feb, and $6.25 around April. So what's driven the runup?
Also, btw, does anyone know of any way to make Yahoo's log graphs usable other than moving them to a paint program and copying the $50-$100 distance to add lines for $25, $12.50, etc.? And why do they label the bottom of the chart as $0 when it's really about $0.80?
