BSDi should buy/merge with SCO.

Now hear me out on this.  I just read the OSOpinion discussion of SCO's
future and that a Linux company should buy it out.  Forget that, it is a
better match for BSDi.  BSDi would then have everything, including a
compiler, to build a full Unix without the GPL in the way.  BSDi would
gain Tarantella.  BSDi would gain a huge installed userbase.  It would
further consolidate the Unix market.  There is a metric ton of code there
including the NonStop stuff and all the heritage associated with a REAL
Unix.  

Forward all flames to /dev/null :)
