Maybe SCO had a point
I say we simply take the high moral ground:
1. We don't steal code.
2. Code thieves will not be welcome.
3. IF SCO has been wronged, we'll fix it. *IF*.
4. This does not give SCO any excuse to: (1) cry "conspiracy, (2) disparge the Linux community, (3) disparage the GPL.
5. (and this is most important,) Make sure everyone is aware that there is a certain amount of obscurity here. Caldera was involved with Linux, so was SGI, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, and others.
6. Caldera's behavior WRT their copyrights and how they were being enforced or not *counts.* If anyone at Caldera knew about any of this and looked the other way, it *counts.* And if Caldera staff were shuffling code back and forth between Linux and proprietary UNIX, with no regard for the GPL, thinking neither of us would care as long as they were helping LInux, that counts, also.
