Microsoft has already purchased a license from SCO to free the company of future claims against Linux. The deal is estimated at about US$10 million. SCO spokesperson Blake Stowell would not discuss the terms of the deal, but confirmed that Microsoft IS AN ALLY.
"THERE'S A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES," Yankee Group senior analyst Laura DiDio <A HREF="http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/story/31252.html" TITLE="technewsworld.com">told</a technewsworld.com> TechNewsWorld. "Not necessarily coming out to say they support SCO or coming to their defense, but I think there are a lot of behind-the-scenes machinations."
Stowell would not discuss the terms of the deal, but confirmed Microsoft as a SCO ally.
"We sold Microsoft a license in the second quarter of this year and they're in compliance and good standing and CONTINUE TO BE A PARTNER OF OURS," he said.
Would DiDio make an unfounded allegation involving a multi-billion dollar lawsuit in companies that she gives advice on? Or is her allegation founded on information that she was privy to when she made the statement?
