"Unfortunately, SCO is not the only company that is attempting to use the
specter of unsubstantiated intellectual property infringement allegations
as a weapon against competitors. "Always two there are," it is said. SCO's
litigation war chest was partially furnished by Microsoft, which provided
SCO $16 million in UNIX licensing fees and helped SCO secure tens of
millions more from Baystar Capital. As Microsoft continues to trumpet
baseless and unsubstantiated patent infringement allegations in its war
against Linux, the company should take a close look at the fall of SCO and
ask itself if it wants to follow SCO down the same road to ruin. Once you
start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny. Microsoft
obviously has more resources than SCO and could probably endure a
protracted legal battle forever, but what would it ultimately accomplish?"
