Conqueroring tyrants and legitimate governments always estimate taxation on a per capita basis. The amount of tribute owed to passing armies (Greeks, Mongolian horsemen, Viking sailor warriors, etc) varied according to the size of the town.
Too bad... another invalid silly pointless patent that wastes times money and brain cells and makes everyone look stupid - including people who take time to criticize how stupid it is... oops...
The lives of mere humans must be sacrificed and made to conform to the needs of corporations, entities which must exist, now and forever more, unto eternity.
No human can be allowed to perform in ways that threaten corporate entities since they, and not mere individual behaviors, are the ultimate expression of freedom.
Apache project's priorities largely focus on java. If you can get perl cgi's or php to run, fine, but Apache is being designed with java in mind (check the project list at www.apache.org - it's java java java.
The PHP group should just write its own minimal web server designed exclusively to run PHP so that PHP can run "standalone" without Apache.
And unfortunately way way more than the judge likely to hear this case.
SCO could win because this case is about technology which the non-geek part of the population (lawyers, etc.) elevate to some kind of magical status.
You see, something as sophisticated and advanced as ELF could not be described in a specification that can be implemented by hobbyist university students: it had to be *stolen*.
It's like thinking teen agers could write music and play instruments: this is impossible since music is only able to be created by advanced artists with years of training who work for large symphony orchestras.
it won't work - even if they get the patent and try to shut down apache it will only help prove that MS is evil and that the patent and IPR regime is a fraudulent method of legalized theft supported by corrupt lawyers and politicos.
I like the idea of MS openly acting like the evil scum suckers they really are, only once again out in public (with no proxies) and likely in court.
Where did the publishing industry come from? It came from folk culture. It took over folk culture and imposed a legal framework on it. The notion of "property" that was "intellectual" was invented out of whole cloth to protect the interests of the powerful and the owners of equipment. On your reasoning "... [w]hen you publish information, you really should play by the rules of the publishing industry" the entire publishing industry has failed to "play by the rules" of the culture it stole from for over 200 years (since 1793 say). Thus, using your own argument we know that they have no claim whatsoever to the "naturalness" of their property.
Folk culture (Brothers Grimm etc) was stolen by the likes of Disney and Berlusconi. It disappeared, but now folk culture is coming back. We don't need these companies to "publish" for us. Berlusconi's corps do not provide useful "publishing" services anyway (any more than any other company), all they do is exert editorial control on information.
Oh and the law completely misunderstands the technology of the Internet: it means everything is illegal since it is all copied without authorization. A good lawyer now to argue: "by placing your materials on the Internet you (corporations or individuals) automatically grant the right to its transmission".
After all if you place content on the network you "should play by the rules of the [network]".
Since Caldera bought SCO and MS had settled with DR-DOS when Caldera bought them.
More Unix "political disunity" to the advantage of MS and possibly at its behest.

Really they could together with a few vendors and big customers and do this. Consider

* none of IBM's desk/laptop utility apps rely indows
Try running a presintalled version of Novell/Ximian Linux disto with all the Novell driectory bells and whistles, Lotus Notes clients etc etc on an IBM laptop with 1 Gb of RAM. It is pretty much as good as Windows - or better. Really. And that's *now* wait 2 more years and another billion in research and marketing from IBM alone.
The fact that the system will not run various video or image editors that users are used to is a feature: most business desktops don't need those apps and admins struggle to keep them *off* user's systems.
Anyway 5 years out: Linux on 25% of shipping desktops, 20% of laptops (Apple on on 35% Wintel on 45%) and 75% of servers... don't say you you weren't warned.
buying *Ximian* (gtk/gnome experts) and then standardizing on Qt?????
There's lots of other companies they could have bought but I guess the gtk/gnome part is just gonna be shut down? They likely wanna plug Mono into Qt and make it work on Windows too...
1) Rave about C# 2) Convert everything to run on Mono C#.Net 3) Get sued bad by the world's most deep pocketed software publisher except that unlike SCO vs. Linux this time the evidence is on the side of plaintif.
