SCO wants all Linux enterprise users to buy UnixWare licences to cover
their use of Linux.

The story is in The Age:

SCO's press release is at:

http://ir.sco.com/ReleaseDetail.cfm?ReleaseID=114170

"SCO will hold harmless commercial Linux customers that purchase a
UnixWare license against any past copyright violations, and for any future
use of Linux in a run-only, binary format."

How to turn FUD into cash!  What's the bet that a whole raft of companies
will go and buy UnixWare licences just as an insurance against the SCO
litigation going against Linux?
