This isn't as simple as it would appear. SCO is part of a super-entity, called The Canopy Group, a venture capital thingy. There are a LOT of other companies that are part of this group, including TrollTech, the creator/providor of QT which is required/used by KDE. This Canopy Group share management functions. If SCO is going after IBM (and linux indirectly by default) then it is driven by Canopy more than SCO itself, which is subsumed in Canopy. Ultimately, it is my hope that this is a stupid move to get SCO bought out by IBM, which could consume SCO without feeling it, and this will go away. praedor -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+aL/2aKr9sJYeTxgRArgUAJ9CYyn+Tn/XHBCiUYVWOgwrGa5nlwCgtF3r +LDurEsdBS5Bw2zi7iW3l7E= =PKTT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- -- Pentru dezabonare, trimiteti mail la [EMAIL PROTECTED] cu subiectul 'unsubscribe rlug'.
