One good thing that'll most likey come out of this is that people will start taking a good hard look at the "IP" claims that outfits like SCO run around making.
You can bet the SCO management thought that attacking Linux like they did would be a safe bet because they thought the Linux movement couldn't or wouldn't fight back.

No, because the Open Source community is willing to own up to it and go

Wrong. I along with a hell of a lot of other people never wanted any of this PC Gaming nonsense with all the cheaters and other jackasses like you to begin with.
Maybe for the PC Gamers, but for Linux users like me who are more interested in PS2 games, I don't really see where this matters one wit. I haven't bought or played a PC game title ever since the "upgrade your computer for every new game release" mentality took over the PC gaming world.
>It was done and it was called RAMEN.

Ramen was a massive flop on machines running
Redhat. Notice that almost every time is a
"virus" attack on Linux or BSD machines there is
almost never really any numbers given on just how
many machines are actually affected by the
worm/virus? Could it be that the numbers are so
low that they are laughable?

Bullshit. The reason Freenet is inherently broken is because it's written in Java for no real reason. If Java had never existed, Freenet would've been coded in C most likely and a lot of the Freenet problems wouldn't be problems.
