That is funny. Although, I think they sued the right people. IBM won't roll over on
this, and have deep pockets.
What SCO is trying to do is collect royalties on a free system. This won't go to
court. The stuff they are coming up with is so ridiculous and far fetched. They
won't show any evidence, because the possible offending code would be excised
within hours, and likely shown to be from bsd. The purpose is as IBM says, again
the ones who invented it, FUD. That is why they tripled the damages when IBM
didn't sit and beg. And they took the work of a respected Linux journalist and
highlighted it in their claim. I wonder how many users of Linux have sent them a
cheque already? I suspect it would be surprising.
Are the developers, some in employ of other companies, some not, going to let
SCO collect royalties on their work?
