"As for the GPL, it's total war."

[JoeHill]

I can honestly say, I knew as soon as I heard about the SCO lawsuit that
it was about an attack on Linux and OSS in general, not that I was alone
in that by any means.

Now SCO has submitted it's arguments in detail, and it's quite plain
that they are going for the whole munchie.

....and, honestly, whom do you think is pulling the strings on this one?

Some quotes for the lazy:

"The most significant thing they say is that the GPL isn't enforceable
or applicable, and in paragraph 16 that Linux is an unauthorized
"version" of UNIX:

"Denies the allegations of paragraph 16 and alleges that Linux is, in
actuality, an unauthorized version of UNIX that is structured, assembled
and designed to be technologically indistinguishable from UNIX, and
practically is distinguishable only in that Linux is a 'free' version of
UNIX designed to destroy proprietary operating system software."

And, I guess we're all commies for using OSS, cuz:

"The GPL violates the U.S. Constitution, together with copyright,
antitrust and export control laws, and IBM's claims based thereon, or
related thereto, are barred."
