SCO Brought Back from the Dead by Middle East Money
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It was a happy Valentine's Day for The SCO Group. With its key Unix guru having just left the company, a dwindling revenue stream for its OpenServer and UnixWare products, three big lawsuits with uncertain outcomes and the consequent mounting legal bills, and operations from within the confines of Chapter 11 bankruptcy, someone has nonetheless decided to plunk down $100 million to take the just barely publicly held Unix software maker private and give it yet another new lease on life.
