You lost all credibility on this issue when you swore up and down SCO would never announce a price for Linux. Now they're preparing to start suing people for illegal use and you claim that won't happen either. We'll see, but you already blew your prediction in regards to this already.

You're right: I did predict that. I could not believe that they would make an actual "offer to sell" when that would so obviously leave them open to criminal charges for fraud (misrepresentation of need).

But they did it. Let's see what happens as a consequence.

Now they're preparing to start suing people for illegal use and you claim that won't happen either.

I did? Where?

I no longer believe that these guys are getting actual legal advice before doing these things. They don't know what the hell they are doing, or what the consequences are likely to be. Who knows if they'll sue anybody? They say a lot of stuff and never do it. Then they do something even dumber.

Suing an IBM customer is the dumbest thing they could do. IBM will step right up, defend the sumbitch, and at that point the world will know that SCO isn't getting any license revenue before 2005. They won't be in business that long; they don't have hardly any revenue without those license fees, and they have some serious legal bills on the way.

This game is about over.
