LWN have an article on their website about the fact that SCO have filed their 
10-Q form to the US SEC.  I've not read it (not being a paid subscriber yet) 
but I went and read the 10-Q form and pulled out some interesting titbits 
that came to my attention from it.

I've written an article on my website about it at:

http://csamuel.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=12&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0

(I wish PostNuke would sort out their short link idea!)

Here's a couple of quick points..

- - SCO believes that the legal action may damage their business in the long 
run. 
- - Apart from MS there has been only one other (unnamed) SCOSource licensee. 
- - These two licensees contributed over $8 million to SCO's revenue. 
- - The unnamed SCOSource licensee has also been offered up to 210,000 shares of 
SCO at $1.83 a share. SCO is currently trading around $10! 
- - MS has been offered the option to extend its license at a future date.
- - SCO describes the SCOSource UNIX license as "perpetual".

Anyway, have a read, and feel free to quote me or link to the article if you 
want..

cheers!
Chris
