Most it it's twaddle. Interesting bit: "But despite SCO's reassurances, it is possible that a legal requirement to remove the offending code could have a serious impact on one or more Linux implementations." Define serious impact. Given that all interested parties have the code - how long before it's re-implemented? And how many will re-implement it in parallel? Some of the law and precedent is similar to the PC BIOS arguments - but the sheer number of capable Linux developers makes the one-by-one approach of objecting to implementation that worked back in the BIOS wars impractical. The Linux movement, I suspect, has the same ability to route around injunctions that the Internet supposedly has to route around censorship. -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.com +44 7785 302 803 +49 173 6242039
