Facepalm. I don't know what b-school geniuses think it's a good idea to revive this, but the execs at what-became-a-holding-company of SCO made millions throughout the trial, so I guess it makes sense to someone, somewhere, in a twisted, patent-troll like way. Maybe it's just that the claims are so grand, that, if they can get a fraction of the damages they claim, they'll get a return on the litigation investment. As someone who was trying to evangelize Linux in my Fortune 250 at the time, I was dismayed by this whole saga, because it had its intended effect. One particular manager (who simply didn't like me) used news of the trial to cast FUD on my efforts to promote that we should be doing more with Linux, and less with Windows. I've read every bit of news on this. I digested Groklaw daily at the time. I've bitched about it time and time again on this forum, and many others. In all of this reporting and commenting, I've never seen any reference to WHO was behind helping SCO, inside of Microsoft. I want to know who the people were that made these decisions, and greenlit the transfer of money. I want f*king names. I mean, I'm sure Bill and Steve had to sign off on the amount of money involved, but who engineered it, and brought it to them? I want to know what else they've done in their career. Were they professional hatchet men? Or were they otherwise successful product people?
