Except, of course, that you can STILL wget the appropriate licence today, and SCO is well aware that their code is included.

SCO should have pulled their ftp server the day they realised that code was there that shouldn't be.

Oh - and by the way - they would have been (and still are) perfectly entitled to do so and yet still remain within the GPL. If their lawyers haven't advised them how they can legitimately escape this catch 22 then their lawyers aren't worth a dime.

But I'm not going to tell you in case I give them any ideas. Just the little hint - does the GPL mention the internet at all?

Cheers,
Wol
