I don't believe that SCO has the slightest intention of suing the
BSDs.  If any, then Apple.  The rest just doesn't make business sense.
Say what you may, what SCO has done so far *does* make business sense.
Look at their stock price.  That's the real reason for this particular
statement too IMO.  And yes, I'm speaking only for myself.
