- Well, a little later than expected, as news was slow to hit the sites, but the press conference went predictably bad for SCO, and promises that unless Microsoft, their one and only supporter at this point, puts up a lot more cash than one license provides, the company is in for a world of legal and monetary hurt. SCO said that it will settle the claims made by Novell yesterday in court in an effort to settle the copyright issues and allow SCO to go forward with future copyright infringement claims. SCO's Darl McBride also chimed in that the claims by Novell were meant to mess around with the fact SCO was releasing their quarterly earnings the same day. Either way, SCO feels it's feelings were hurt, and has gone to the lawyers for a settlement tissue for the tears. Oh, and they'll open the code to those stupid enough willing to sign an NDA. |

It was named for its founder, Harvey Duro, a husky member of the Torres-Martinez Band of Cahuilla Indians, who said he just may double the size of the place. |
