Ummm.... Let's see.... You hope that the court rules that Linux is a
ripoff of SCO's property, that everyone who has ever used Linux has to
pay damages, and that, by the way, the GPL isn't legally binding?
I don't believe you've quite thought this through.
I would normally assume that the pro SCO idiot was simply an SCO
troll but in this case my assumption is that he really is that stupid.
The really sad part is that if the damn fool had bother to read the
listing posting he would have discovered what the law in the US
really is in relation to patents and if he had bother to Even read
the first article on Groklaw he would know how stupid he sounds.
There is no help those who wish to remain ignorant fools.

Not having followed this from day one, and not having been previously
interested
can someone explain (lay terms please) just what this means for us?
Thanks,

Well, the most direct attack was they tried to claim GPL was
unconstitutional. Beyond that they've laid claim to all of Linux, C++
and just about anything else that has in one way or another touched
Unix. As IBM pointed out, to follow SCO's claim, since TCP/IP was
originally built on Unix, devices that use TCP/IP, such as the
Blackberry, automatically infringe on SCO's intellectual property.
Browse through Groklaw sometime. There's plenty of evidence to show how
detached from reality SCO is.
