I will love to see in USA the same action against SCO as in Germany: show the code or shut up.

I do really not understand legal system - but I beleive even IBM can go with this kind of case: IBM already involved. Actually any-one who is in UNIX business involved.

SCO has _*nothing*_ concerning Linux kernel source code infrigement. It will be just sad to see how much people will be bought to SCO.

They just have grown in eyes of publicity big enough - they are attacking Big Blue after all - to persue anyone to pay them money.

I hope that court will dissmiss they motion to enforce license on Linux kernel - if will be any - on base that they gave _*no*_ chance to customers of Linux kernel to aviod IP infrigement.
In fact, they knowingly and willingly forced people to infrige they copyrights for quite long time.

Good Luck there in USA.
