But in a filing yesterday the SCO Group gave a strong hint that while it
anticipates riches from IP licenses, its current business is falling apart.
Deeply embedded in the risks portion of the filing is this statement:

"We are informed that participants in the Linux industry have attempted to
influence participants in the markets in which we sell our products to
reduce or eliminate the amount of our products and services that they
purchase. They have been somewhat successful in those efforts and similar
efforts and success will likely continue. There is also a risk that the
assertion of our intellectual property rights will be negatively viewed by
participants in our marketplace and we may lose support from such
participants. Any of the foregoing could adversely affect our position in
the marketplace and our results of operations. "

Which boils down to two admissions. SCO has already lost business from its
loyal customer base. And it expects to lose more.
