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
stuff happening, I was hoping to see the stock drop to penny status, then the Lug's, FSF, OSDN, and
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.
