Submission + - SCO shares collapse after court judgement

mattaw writes: It didn't take the investors long to FINALLY wake up to what the intelligent world was telling them: SCO is worth almost nothing without its IP claims, and they are not based on facts. TheRegister and Yahoo share tracker both tell of the substantial financial damage its suffered after the latest court ruling.

To quote the register: "SCOX dropped 40 per cent to $1.20 per share, at the time of this report. That's well off a 52-week high of $5.23 and light-years away from the more than $20 per share price SCO enjoyed a couple years back. The share price collapse follows a judge's decision to uphold an earlier ruling that nixed 187 of SCO's 294 claims against IBM."

Submission + - Microsoft makes claim on Linux code

mattaw writes: From OUTLAW.COM, "Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has said that every user of the open source Linux system could owe his company money for using its intellectual property. The statement will confirm the worst fears of the open source community." Seems that SCO's backer is willing to take over the fight itself (if you believe that). I am not certain about the backing, but I am certain MS will take advantage of it.
