If you want the nitty-gritty on why SCO is not right, objectively
speaking, check this out:

and the SCO archives at Groklaw:

Most anyone who has a passing familiarity with case or IP law, is not
owned by MS or SCO, and has half a brain, agrees that SCO's case is pure
BS.

What scares *me* is that although, AFAIK, most judges in the US have a
passing familiarity with case and/or IP law, I have no confidence
whatsoever in them rendering a decision that is based on them having
more than half a brain ;-)

And as for being "owned", well, we all saw what happened in the DOJ case
against MS after Bush made his views known.
