SCO's demand for money from Linux users implies that SCO has distributed
Linux in the past without granting the right to use SCO code that Linux
is alleged to contain. Since that can't be done under the GPL, it follows
that SCO has distributed Linux without obtaining a license to do so.

The rights of copyright owners are important. I think that SCO would
be well advised to pay for the code that it has neglected to license in
the past.

I hope someone is looking at SCO's UNIX products for enhancements that
could have been plagiarized from Linux. If such were found, then that
would create a nice opportunity for the owners of Linux copyrights to
sell lawsuit-protection to SCO and SCO's UNIX customers .
