Investment company [b]BayStar Capital[/b] has confirmed ties between two [i]Linux[/i] foes, saying Thursday that a [b]Microsoft[/b] referral led to $50 million in [b]BayStar[/b] funding for the [b]SCO Group[/b].
[blockquote]Word of the Microsoft matchmaking surfaced last week when open-source advocate Eric Raymond published a leaked memo about Microsoft's help in the BayStar investment. SCO Group confirmed the authenticity of the memo but said its author, S2 Strategic Consulting's Mike Anderer, misunderstood the situation. Open-source fans leaped on the memo as evidence that Microsoft is aiding SCO's attack on Linux.
