But then of course SCO runs smack into another wall, in that it already released
it's own version of Linux under the GPL, which according to it's own arguments
contained the SysV code...which is why it is now claiming the GPL is "communist"
and/or "viral", and needn't be enforced, but then it knowingly *included* the
GPL in it's release, which means...

Does this remind anyone of that Star Trek episode where Spock shut's down Mudd's
women androids by saying something like "everything I say is a lie"?

I really do feel sorry for the judges hearing this case, if it ever gets that
far. What a mess.
