Of course, Sun also paid lots of money (along with Microsoft) to SCOX
to buy out of any license issues.  If SCOX didn't actually own what
they sold, Sun probably has a countersuit.  I don't think the actual
terms of the Sun/SCOX or Microsoft/SCOX deals were ever fully
revealted.  I wonder if Sun could have already covered themselves
against anything related to Tarantella.  This is starting to make my
head hurt...
