[lug] The SCO IP License.. where do I click?

[Wagner, Carl]

Has anyone heard if SCO has released any [more] "proof" of IP infringement?
I would think that they would be liable for "Irreparable Damages" to all the
Linux vendors if they lose the inevitable court case.  I am surprised that 
Redhat and the others haven't requested a restraining order on SCO releasing
any more FUD until they prove that they have a case.

The cynic in me believes that Microsoft is somehow involved in this.

Carl.

Strangely, this isn't too far off from what USL charged for PC based
distributions of the original SVR4 code.  Such pricing is what
effectively kept SVR4 off desktops in the early 90's and let Linux come
into being in the first place. 

Didn't work then.  And it won't work now.
