So all you have to do is, start a lawsuit, get Lawyers/Corporate Managers
scared, and then offer to settle every future lawsuit out of court with a
purchase of a License......Without even proving your case.....and
withdrawing your claims of infrigement......

SAN JOSE, Calif. The SCO Group said Tuesday (August 5) it wants $32 for
each embedded system using Linux. That request stems from the Lindon, Utah
company's claim that Linux versions 2.4 and above contains code that
infringes on its Unix software.
..................
Through October, it will charge them $699 for rights to its Unix code for
each single-CPU Linux server they operate, after that charge double.
