So? Where did this thing go, not that it really matters much anymore.
Back on the original SunOne, SunDay conference I attended, it seemed exciting to Sun... and to myself, and to most of the people in attendence.

They(Sun), did announce this back in 1997. Sun Unveils Its First Java Processor

But back in 1996 they(Sun) were talking as if the chip was going to find it's way into every MoBo as a Java coprocessor.
of course they(Sun) also praised to Alpha Centuri that Java was small, portable, and fast.

Yawn, coulda woulda shoulda, Java just became another overbloated C.

SCO's complaint, in all its brazen mendacity, is the last gasp of proprietary Unix.
The open-source community (and its allies) are more than competent to carry forward the Unix tradition they founded so many years ago.
We pray that all assertions of exclusive corporate ownership over this tradition be given a swift and merciful end.

This is in line with my slashdot post of January 13 2003, http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=50531&cid=5072012 , that of course was moderated down to a 1 (ok user moderation isn't perfect... Just felt I'd grumble a bit).
I'm not sure about the legal suit in Germany by a kernal code contributor against SCO, although on the surface it sounds reasonable, and I have been waiting for years for somebody to put some teeth in GPL enforcement.
I just hope it doesn't come back and bite us in the tush.

What do I think the outcome should be after all the dust has settled in the SCO vs. The World fiasco?

I know you didn't ask, but I've got to tell.

*nix should be freed. All IP rights should be shovelled into the public domain, where they belong. Unix has not been the creation of any one body, or even a small group of bodies.
In whole Unix (as it is today) was created by such a large number of authors, in such diverse circumstances, that no entity should be able to control the property of the whole.
Better yet, rather that simply shovel it into the PD, I think it should be certified as GPL.
Making the GPL an official decision would clear many IP issues that could take decades to resolve otherwise.

Darl McBride, CEO of SCO Group had this exchange with BusinessWeek Online Technology editor Alex Salkever.

Q: What does this mean for the future of SCO and its involvement in the Linux community?
A: We would be happy to sit down and get a resolution on this so we can all live together peacefully. But when we file a legal claim and then someone does a denial-of-service attack on our Web site to try to shut us down, it creates concerns for us as to how can you work with this community.

Apparently this moron dosn't know the difference between the Linux Community and a bunch of script kiddies. In fact, I'm willing to bet he does, but simply never had any intent of working with the community, and this is his version of an excuse.

As Bruce Perens has intimated on a recent interview on Tech TV's 'The Screen Savers', there is every chance that SCO itself inserted this code into the Linux Community, and distributed it in it's own Distro (oddly pulled shortly after starting this mess). Even if they did not insert it, there's every chance they redistributed it under the GPL.

SCO, show us the code.
Then complete your spiral into irrelevance and go out of business.
