    I see my comment has been marked as redundant. I am pleased to see that today's moderators have a sense of irony.

    Come on! Stop bashing SCO, and try to understand what is it exactly that they are talking about...

    They say that there are MILLIONS (with an S) of infringing lines of code.

    Moreover, they claim that the GPL is void and that copyright law only allows for one copy only.

    Knowing that there may be around 18 millions linux users, it is obvious that they are talking about ONE line of highly essential code replicated millions of times in healthy computers (i.e. running linux) around the globe.

    Now stop bashing SCO, will you, or I'll mod you down, all of you!
