As long as they remain "alive", they will drag to court anyone with enough money to milk in the BSD/Unix/Linux ecosystem. Think I'm being too dramatic? Well, consider this old news from 2003: Why SCO will Soon be Going After BSD Submitted by Alex Alvarez 2003-11-18 SCO 85 Comments =E2=80=9CSince they cannot show infringement of SCO Unix code, SCO now pla= ns to challenge the 9-year-old settlement between AT&T and BSD. If it can successfully do that, then its claims that Linux contains tainted code can be substantiated. If it can=E2=80=99t, SCO is dead meat.= =E2=80=9D Says NewsForge. *Updated*More SCO news: SCO is planning to block Novell=E2=80=99s acquisition of SUSE Linux on the grounds that it has a non-compete agreement with Novell dating back to its purchase of Unix. https://www.osnews.com/story/5169/why-sco-will-soon-be-going-after-bsd/ BSD people be aware: XinuOS has you next in their hit list.
