APRIL 1 -- The SCO Group is preparing to reverse its flagging fortunes by launching a Unix infringement lawsuit against itself, according to documents obtained by this reporter.
[...]According to confidential documents, Caldera may have inadvertently shared intellectual property it gained after the purchase of Unix with its own open-source developers. If true, that would be a violation of its own Unix license, and as such, would expose the company to legal charges and potentially huge damages.
[...]The revenue from the suit would be offset by legal fees, and may be potentially covered by SCO's liability insurance, McMushroom believes. Any additional costs would most likely be treated as an extraordinary charge against earnings. But in any case, he expects SCO to come out ahead.
