Or maybe if you sign the NDA, they'll tell you they don't have proof. Thus, tempting you to tell the news to others. And they'll be waiting for you to break the NDA so they can sue you as well.

When will the legal drama end?!
Litigation-as-business-model is getting too silly now.
Hopefully, the train will hit the final destination soon... but 2003 seems to be ending with a cliffhanger.

SCO posted a loss of 1.6 million for the 4th quarter, the loss is because of 9 million in legal fees, otherwise they would have posted a profit of 7.4 million. Talk about a great business strategy... rofl

SCO are legal weasels! They clearly plan to drag this out in any way they can. The more time that's used up - the more chance their stock price will bounce up a point or two. They do anything they can to stop 'discovery'. Hopefully the bullshit will walk on the 8th, but I have a feeling that they will continue to find unique ways to stall.

Sooner or later they're going to piss off a judge and that will probably be the end of the ride, but for right now we have to deal with more threats. Frankly, I'm having a hard time how any company is allowed to legally threaten another with no recourse like this. I'd love for one of those big Fortune 500 companies to lay the smackdown on 'em.

We should all be thankful that SCO's actions have occurred when they did. Seriously. A few years before this, when Linux wasn't as popular and didn't have backing from companies like HP and IBM, and it would've been all over but the crying.
