As a minor footnote, I've always wonder about the
SCO case being anything
but a delay tactic against Linux. Give the courts results from the AT&T
vs. BSDi case, I'm personally surprised they got as far as they did. I
really would expected to be tossed out at the start (hut Im not a lawyer of
course). Clearly, the courts had declared that ideas were free and clear
for anyone to use. So how SCO could have claimed anything against anyone,
I find hard to fathom. Again the courts got it right, but it took a loot of time
and effort for then to decide something that the another court had already decided.
The entire painful journey can be read on Groklaw and well worth
reading when you have a spare month or so.
