Not wanting to jump into this, because I think the whole of the argument is ridiculous... But, in a nutshell... Aren't you trying to make the same argument that SCO is trying to make? (all due respect, of course) I just don't see the validity of "I don't care if the code was legally released to the open source communities eons ago! I don't care how much time and effort has been spent building on it. It's mine and I want it back!" Don't get me wrong. I've made public posts that I look back and cringe on because I know it's still out there somewhere. Hell... Maybe there's only two of us. That's life, and we live it anyway. Fact is, the cats out of the bag, and I have yet to meet a cat that likes bags. :) Bewildered, but ducking out just the same...
