I read on a computer-related website that SCO's revenues are $21,000,000 of which 39% or $8,000,000 are from licensing Unix TO MICROSOFT. I would think that this entire morality play (SCO pretending to preserve the copyright on something (Unix) it didn't write in the first place and acquired FROM SOMEONE ELSE) is MS's way of sowing FUD. I think that is the entire story, and whether SCO even exists several years from now (independently or as acquired by MS) is irrelevant to the main story.

I have no proof, but I speculate Microsoft is bank-rolling this whole operation. Wasn't Microsoft the first and only computer company to buy one of their phoney baloney licenses?
