SCOs absurd, insane claims to the contrary, Microsoft is much more likely
to have stolen SCO code than IBM.  They have a long history of doing
exactly that, from STAC to Kerberos.

I will give them credit for clever FUD, but Microsoft will continue to lose
market share to free/open source software for a few more years yet.

MS signed a license.  Big deal.  It is meaningless.  They will continue to
steal code whenever it is convenient.
