I figure SCO wouldn't sue Sun until the lawsuit with IBM is settled or over. I figure SCO dosn't have the resouces to sue both IBM and Sun.

But then again, they may.


So you'd prefer for OpenSolaris to be run by the Solaris developers that Sun employs? To date, they have the most commits in code and contributions? Is that what you're really arguing for?


That is how it usually works in open-source, though this is infeasible in your situation it appears. Communities usually find their own leaders or are elected in open-source, they are not artifically chosen, especially before the release of the source-code.
