I am not aware of plagiarism being alleged against any major open source
product since the ATT-BSD-Novell settlement more than 10 years ago.

If there were plagiarism in an open source program it would be detected
sooner rather than later. What SCO is doing is unprecedented - they claim
ALL derivative or related works are "in effect" their property.

Richard Wild writes as if this problem was commonplace, when it manifestly
isn't. Is he merely ignorant, or does he have his own axe to grind?
