Wonderfully blatant (and accurate) posting from /. :
We may hear of an SCO offer to settle in the very near future.
If they do, it will show the same lack of understanding the German high command exhibited at the end of WWII:
With the Russians surrounding Hitler's bunker, the Germans actually sent an officer out to negotiate peace terms. After five minutes, the Russian general basically said "we have troops and you don't. No settlement other than unconditional surrender is possible."
SCO has spent six months pissing on IBM. Short of "Darl consents to be publically sodomized by the IBM executive of your choice," SCO may not have any negotiating points left.
