I think the discussion of costs should be right up front, not later...

As in:
Judge: SCO, can you afford to pay costs? Can you pay damages if you lose?

SCO: Errrr mumble, mumble not really.

Judge: IBM, do you really want to play this lopsided game you can't win?

IBM: No, we just want to see Ralph in an orange jumpsuit.

Judge: Ok then, we'll proceed by SCO posting a bond in the amount of whatever
they can come up with. They can pursue their claims up to the point that IBM's
costs reach the bond amount. If they can't present a convincing case by then,
then IBM wins, collects the bond, and all else is dismissed with predjudice
against SCO. And to help streamline things and provide SCO an incentive to move
quickly, Ralph shall sit in jail until this whole charade is over. Longer if
IBM wins.

IBM just objected to those two paragraphs, and made a couple of other objections I wasn't smart enough to see :-)

Now we just need to see if the court accepts IBM's objections.
