At a meeting I attended with SCO management last month the MSFT royalty issue came up. They realize that taking the MSFT code out of all of their UNIX products would be a major undertaking. Their intent is to evaluate products and decide on a risk (cost)/reward (royalty savings) basis which products to modify. Certainly their new releases i.e. Unixware 7 will represent the major savings. They paid $6.5 mil in royalties to MSFT over the past 2 years.
