IBM isn't giving an inch to SCO's demands.

At lunch, I shared this nightmare scenario with my colleagues:
SCO wins intellectual property control of Linux. Microsoft buys SCO.

That, of course, is the exact opposite of what I predicted earlier. I still think that's the most likely scenario. But given our judicial system's general level of cluelessness about IP plus the Justice Department's blind eye towards antitrust concerns, particularly where Microsoft is concerned, the worst-case scenario can't be dismissed.

But it's notable that IBM isn't giving an inch. And they might know a thing or two about defending and using their intellectual property rights, yes?
