Halloween X: Follow The Money




3 Mar 2004

Excuse me, did we say in Halloween IX that Microsoft's under-the-table payoff to SCO for attacking Linux was just <http://www.opensource.org/halloween/halloween9.html>eleven million dollars? Turns out we were off by an order of magnitude ­ it was much, much more than that.

The document below was emailed to me by an anonymous whistleblower inside SCO. He tells me the typos and syntax bobbles were in the original. I cannot certify its authenticity, but I presume that IBM's, Red Hat's, Novell's, AutoZone's, and Daimler-Chryler's lawyers can subpoena the original.

Explanatory comments are interspersed in green serif font.. Particularly noteworthy bits of the original are in red. <snip>
