I agree this is a red herring.

1) Scox has not proven any copywrite code in linux. Let scox *prove* their case first, then talk of linux licenses.

2) Scox has not specified all code they claim is infringing. No chance for community to remove that code.

3) Scox has not proven their right to go after end users. Scox's dispute is with IBM, not end users - unless scox can prove otherwise.

4) Scox has distributed, and is still distributing this code. Scox is as guilty as giving away "trade secrets" as anybody.
