This is probably the best ending the Linux community could have hoped for; however, I'm dismayed that SCO burnt itself in flames, it was actually a very good operating system; not GNU/Linux-good, but very good back in the days. I understand they lost a lot of business to Linux (so did Microsoft etc.) and that's how the system works; but they were "stuck" because they couldn't open it as it held files with various copyrights (AT&T, Novel, etc.) whom wouldn't have agreed to this. What could/should have they done instead? Well, I can't think of anything as most of the commercial unix vendors are gone now (Irix, Solaris, Tru64, etc.).
