SCO seems to go insane.

Now they want three billion dollars from IBM, they are asking the courts to halt IBM UNIX sales... they are claiming Linus won't cooperate with them in identifying the alleged stolen code snippets (WHICH THEY WONT *$&%#%^ SHOW HIM) and claim they own RCU
 which was written by a completely different company in 1994.


And McBride is making vague threats to users of Linux

 "We can sit there and talk to IBM all day long, but if in fact users are running systems that have
basically pirated software inside, or stolen software inside of their systems, they have liability. We're not saying that they created that liability; we think there are a number of parties along the way that generated that. But we feel like we have an absolute requirement to let them know what was going on as we went down this path."  Daryl McBride, quote from a zdnet story

SCO.... all Ur NIX are belong to us.
