    I wonder how many of those moves are due to arm-twisting by VA lawyers trying to get blood from a stone?

    How about none? Slash is open source. People are encouraged to use it. If they find a better alternative they can switch whenever they want to. No one forces them one way or the other. CmdrTaco or VA can't charge them for use of slash, Scoop is not written in C, it's perl, just as slash, and you're a well known troll who, incredibly, gets moderated up rather frequently.
