Yep.

Fortunately, I've met a number of former Caldera employees from
2000-2002, and they too verify that is exactly what IBM did to them --
just like Ransom Love stated.

None of them agree, as do Ransom Love or myself, that Caldera-SCO has
any ground to stand on with regards to Linux IP (which was the May 2003
addendum to the lawsuit originally filed in March 2003).

But that doesn't remove the fact that a jury in Utah is very likely to
side with Caldera-SCO on several counts because IBM _was_ the bully.
The problem is that the media will believe it has to do with Linux IP.

When the lawsuit only exists because of Monterey, and that's the only
thing Caldera-SCO can win on.  Especially in front of a jury.
