The rise in SCO's stock price is due to the actions of capitalism in the
marketplace. If investors believed that SCO's case was only FUD and without
merit (and they've certainly heard enough opinions to this effect),
the stock wouldn't have stayed up.

And no matter what the reason for the rise, you can't blame SCO employees
for it. Do you blame Linux or people in the Linux world for the fact that
Red Hat and VA Linux once had astronomical prices and valuations?

What Bela said, and what I said earlier on a similar thread, is a
*literal fact*. It's a fact whether or not you believe that SCO is
the worst thing to come down the pike since Attila the Hun.
Most of SCO's employees are indeed working on software
products, both new and existing. New releases of OpenServer and UnixWare
have come out recently and the next releases are currently in the pipeline.
In addition there are some other completely new products such as SCOx that
are in the works.
