So I'm a GrokLaw addict, so sue me... NO! Wait a minute! Don't!
Anyway, so I think I have figured out the profit motives behind SCO. Yes, you heard it right! Breaking news! Hold the presses! This is why they sued IBM (but first the original plan):
Plan A- Claim to own Unix
- Sue IBM
- ...
- Win
- Profit!
As we can see in step A-3, the plan needs some fleshing out. But now my secret sources reveal the new revised version:
Plan B- Claim to own Unix
- Sue IBM
- Print stock certificates
- Lose
- Sell certificates on eBay as collectors items
- Profit!
Not only are there no missing steps in this plan, but the profit free from SEC scrutiny since the only thing sold is the defunct certificates.
Brilliant Darl!

Didn't work too well for Be Incorporated, though
1.Sue Microsoft
2.Microsoft stalls the court process
3.Your stock value plummets below a dollar
4.Nobody buys Sony eVilla nor upgrades to BeOSPro 5.0 from BeOS Personal, so you call it a day and sell your intellectual assets to Palm for pennies on the dollar
5. You're out of business and no longer any kind of threat, so Microsoft settles for a pittance, you take it to satisfy remaining stockholders.
oops forgot the final step
sell worthless shares to scriptophiles on ebay for $5.00 a piece!
nobody cares except BeOS fanatics (all one hundred and twenty seven users)
