Neither company wants to go to trial. The expense is very high and the
risk is too great. Either SCO really has their ducks together and has a
very strong case or they are looking for something. Could be that they
want to assert their ownership of the Unix legacy sources. Could also be
that they want to knock a few of their Linux competitors out of the
market. If the Linux kernel base is actually polluted, then they could
go after all their Linux competitors. Who knows what the real underlying
issues are.
