IBM files another summary judgment motion
Let IBM set the precedent in their case first. Then all developers with GPL'd software distributed by SCO, either in their Linux products or their "UNIX" products (OpenServer and UnixWare), can go after SCO Group. Note, however, that the crux of the argument that IBM is making will only directly affect kernel developers, not userland programmers. But making SCO drop Samba, GCC, and all the other GPL'd software they distribute from their UNIX products would bring me no end of joy. They'd be screwed.
