The FAQ posted earlier is impressive.
Every time you longs read a PR where Darl makes claims you should ask yourself, "What is the business plan of SCO? How do these actions and statements relate to that business plan?"
Is the business plan to be the profitable supplier of unix? Is the business plan to squeeze money out of IBM and linux users? Is the business plan meant to help all shareholders long-term? How does MSFT's payment relate to the business plan?
Does SCO really want to dismantle the GPL? Then why did it take them months after filing their suit to stop distributing linux under the GPL? Why didn't they cry, "Foul," from the gitgo and yank their linux from the market at the time of the original announcement of the suit?
Look for consistency of motivation and action. If you find such consistency and it isn't consistent with the PR spin and the sound bites go with the former and discount the latter.
What's the plan? How does that impact your investment?
