What I find ironic about the whole SCO thing is that if it wasn't for
GNU SCO would have never been viable. The vast majority of companies
that used SCO used the GNU development tools. The reason that they used
GNU is that the SCO tools sucked and were way over priced. Most of the
SCO shops that I've dealt with would not have chosen SCO if the GNU
tools weren't available.
