> The truth, as is often the case, is far less exciting than the

> got it wrong. The nerds got it right. SCO is road kill. Its
> lawsuit long ago ceased to represent any threat to Linux. That
> operating system has become far too successful to be

> never have to write another article about SCO ever again. I can't
> wait.
