The influx of $100M from some Saudi Arabian group to prop up SCO will have
an effect. But, no one knows yet exactly how big of a hole they have put
themselves in. They still have lots and lots of baggage (royalty payments,
counter suits, a diminishing user base, and a diminishing work force) that
has to be dealt with, and my guess has it that there is more to this
cash-cow than meets the eye.
Couple that with the possibility of two ethnically and religiously diverse
business groups hopping in bed together, hmmmm, sounds like the basis for
a real dispute over ownership could be brewing.

I'll hold my judgement and opinions for a later date. But, as long as the
SCO Group remains under the current management team, they'll be frowned upon
and viewed as a company that wouldn't and couldn't participate in an
industry unless they could totally control it.

Just my 2 cents.
