GNU still visionary

Parent article:
SCOsource and Linux
The article makes me think of how much of the GNU/Linux
operating system SCO really targets. Is is just the kernel or more?
It also shows again that the carefull approach of the GNU project
(GNU is _not_ Unix) by the FSF was justified. Many people critisied
the FSF for insisting in copyright assignments and written permissions
from employers for crucicial part of the GNU system. The position
of the Free Software movement would have been a lot weaker without
that precautions. They might have felt exaggerrated ten years ago,
but this incident again demonstrates that they were visionary.
