Red Hat, despite the complete absence of any ownership rights whatsoever in the Linux kernels, seeks a declaration that these Linux kernels do not infringe SCO's intellectual property rights.

If you read the whole context TSG is basically trying to prove that RedHat doesn't sell Linux, according to TSG they sell services.

I paid $40 for RedHat 8.0 last year and I basically feel that RedHat does sell Linux and therefor does have a legitimate interest in protecting themselves from SCO. But hey, what do I know?

You may be rigth that that is SCOs main claim. Still, the statement above is very clear. It is crystal-clear what the sentence says. It is also crystal-clear that the sentence is a bald-faced lie.

I find it amazing that the American juridical system appears to allow such *obvious* lies to go on for months and months with no consequences whatsoever. Yes sure, the consequences will come, in another 5 years or so. Simple ridicolous.
