Yeah, they did.
Are they screwed? That is not a good question because they were screwed when the first filed suit.
Seriously, even if SCO wins, a verdict to that effect will not come around for perhaps 5-10 years. SCO thinks that they will then rake in a ton of money on their licensing. Like anyone would even use their Unix code by the time this is all said and done. I'm sorry but they killed their own company when the started all the lawsuits. They were so scared of Linux that they thought they needed to fight and figured that the US is so sue happy that they would win easily. They could have sucked years more out of their code because the large companies that use it are to scared to change anything until there is no other choice. SCO = stupid
Does anyone remember when SCO was actually a large company worth a few billion dollars? Now their stock is worthless and either Novell or IBM will kill them. Personally, if the Novell evidence is as open and shut as it seems, SCO will have to pay up and they will die. IBM will probably laugh and go out for beers with Novell. Perhaps we'll even see a Novell and IBM merger down the roads, that would be pretty cool.
