The purchasing is what SCO wanted from IBM in the first place.  IBM said no thanks, we tried OS/2 
and learned.  So SCO try 2,  if we sue they will buy us as a settlement.  Now with all the other

a few other groups could buy the stock in mass.  Fire the board and open it up.  Still would have a 
few licensing issues, but since Novell bought Suse, I think they could be resolved.
