SCO Litigation Negatively Impacting Business

While it's easy to forget that SCO is not just a litigation machine and actually has (or at least used to have) real products, it looks like all the seemingly frivolous litigation is finally taking its toll. According to this article, “The SCO Group's ongoing legal battle against IBM and others is having a negative impact on the company, leaving it with few new customers for its Unix software and current users reluctant to pay additional licensing fees. Both issues are taking a serious financial toll on the company, which saw its revenue for the second quarter drop by half and sales from its SCOsource division, which licenses its Unix intellectual property, nearly evaporate”.
The question then is how long can SCO keep this up, before they dig themselves into such a hole that coming out in one piece becomes impossible?
