*This* gets to the heart of the matter: SCO has not defended their alleged
IP rights. If they really thought they had a case, the first step in *any*
normal case is to send a "cease and desist" letter, and inform the
violators ->how they are violating<-. SCO, instead, refuses to disclose,
except under a ludicrous non-disclosure agreement, how they claim they are
being violated.
Furthermore, there *is* the FACT that until days after the lawsuit, they had
their own version of Linux on their official Website...*and* all of Linux
is under the GPL.
No case. The company that owns them is trying to improve their profitability
in the courts.

Bush let them get the Library (and Museum) at Baghdad. They're not
getting mine (without a fight).
