Comment "They do not want to profit."? (Score 1) 436

They do not want to profit... They are focused on one solitary goal, and that is to destroy (or damage, to the greatest extent possible) Linux.

Everyone wants to profit. There would not be so much capital flowing into SCO lately if SCO and it's investors didn't smell a profit. SCO knows there is a profit to be derived from the UNIX market- I think that they know that charging money will not destroy linux, just as it never destroyed paid unix distributions. While SCO's legal claims are questionable, I see no reason to doubt that it is being completely upfront about its economic goals- to derive profit from a popular, indeed, indispensable system that they were hoping nobody would be able to effectively stand up for in court.
