Fishing for Leverage

ALEX: So why exactly is a representative of the SCO Group calling the Ubersoft help desk?

SCO: Let me see… *shuffle*

SCO: Ah yes. This is t notify you that you are using our intellectual property in your Linux products, and that you must either halt all Linux development, pay us a substantial licensing fee, or buy our company, thereby inheriting all our intellectual property.

ALEX: We don’t have any Linux products.

SCO: Unix, then.

ALEX: We don’t have any Unix products.

(Silence.)

SCO: Would you like to buy our company anyway?

ALEX: No.
