  On a related note that fluttered into my mailbox today, SCO resigned from
membership in the German linux group when pressed for specific examples of
code they say was taken from their Unix and used in linux. If they hadn't
run away yesterday, the group planned on meeting tomorrow to consider
kicking SCO out.

  Perhaps they have a corporate brain tumor. That would explain the bizarre
behaviors.
