SCO to Red Hat: you have no complaint

SCO has never asserted in any statement that individual, non-corporate users of Linux may be liable to SCO, or otherwise would need to purchase a right to-use-license.

This is patently false. They have stated, repeatedly and publically, that all versions of Linux post 2.4 contains "major" parts for which they have copyrigth and for which no permission to distribute under the GPL has been given.

If true, every single person distributing Linux, whether comercial or not would be liable. There is no exception in copyrigth for private non-comercial copying.
