The only way one can legitimately attack SCO: if they had another option and did not take it.
There are many many companies making excellent money from this "free" Unix. Redhat's market cap is $4B, partly by partnering with IBM instead of fighting them. Oracle/Novell are trying to figure out how to leverage their abilities. SCO was in the perfect position to be the top of them all. Utter, utter morons.

SCO had no choice. SCO had to survive.
They won't survive. They had infinite choices. They picked the wrong ones.

Redhat has now moved to the NYSE while SCO faces de-listing. Before Redhat ever existed, SCO had a support system, training, a serious customer base, and everything else Redhat had to develop from scratch. They were well-liked in the silly valley and had lots of great people. They simply had no vision.
