BayStar Wants Out Of SCO
from the jumping-ship dept
BayStar, the company that (most likely at Microsoft's request) coughed up $20 million to fund SCO's legal attacks on all things Linux is now asking to get out of the investment, saying that SCO breached their agreement. SCO, not surprisingly, denies this, meaning that SCO's lawyers now have another legal battle to fight - using their own investors' money to fight those investors trying to get it back.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Baystar vs. SCO
Whether it's good or bad depends on your point of view, or where your money is invested, I guess.
I Can't believe the lack of posts on this issue.
Maybe it's just too mind numbing.
SCO has shot themselves in the foot with more bullets than their automatic holds.
Right when we think we've seen the worst possible screwup, they manage to go one better.
Management of the lawyers, by the lawyers, and for the lawyers, appears to have shifted to "...by the morons...."
