Now BayStar Will Sue SCO
from the always-fun dept
BayStar, the investment firm that invested in SCO (at Microsoft's behest), then wanted out, but later publicly made up with SCO's management, has apparently changed its mind again. Whatever that "we're happy with SCO now" statement was recently, it wasn't very strong, apparently. BayStar is now suing SCO, suggesting they've been misinformed by SCO (gee, what a surprise) concerning SCO's "licensing opportunities." It will be interesting to see how this turns out, but in this case, BayStar probably has no one to blame but itself for not doing the necessary (and at the time they invested, not particularly difficult) due diligence on what they were investing in.
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.
–The Techdirt Team
