Naa, SCO is holding its collective breath(s) hoping that the GPL is struck down or deminissed by this challenge. I hope that SCO cannot survive without oxygen for eight minutes in that regard.
He did not get "caught". He contacted the NYT and told them that their systems were vulnerable, plus, he offfered to help them secure their systems for free. They ignored him and several months later, they called the cops.
I don't know about laws in the US, but if I called the police about a trespasser or even a B & E after an extended period and no damage was done and no theft ocurred, I'd probably be told that there was no proof of a crime.
If you install any Windows OS "from scratch", keep it off the net until you have the latest updates installed from your own patch CD. Turn off RPC, enable MS's internal FW, then go and get the patches you missed! It is simple, really. It only takes a few hours.
Or you can install Mandrake 9.x for most of what you want to do, like surf/.
For anything "based (o)n silicone", I'd accept Pamela Anderson. For anything "based in silicon", I'd take a hardware firewall and a software firewall. Belt and suspenders, what better fasion for a true geek?

There has been "solid violations of the licence" but the lawyers haven't been able to turn the terms of the license to their client's advantage.
The GPL is quite clear on what is and isn't allowed.
The copywrite holder decides to release under the GPL and anyone deriving works from that code must abide by those conditions.

Since you're posting AC, it won't take that long.

Being a "Geek" has a significant "with the ladies" advantage these days.
We can impress with our knowledge in today's world far better than with physical prowess, although the two are not mutually exclusive.
We can be good providers for the family and tend to have a consistant and reliable nature.
This, coupled with a quirky sense of humor, is attractive to many an intelligent member of the opposite sex, just ask my wife.
[Her petname for me is "Asshole". 80% of the time, I'm pretty sure she is joking.]
A sixpack for a weekend?
Get real. A sixpack is a Friday evening warm-up to the weekend!
..and increase the profit margin for these jerks? Yeah, right.
So what kinda opt-out list is being used now?
The kind that says "We've got a live one!".
I got a certificate for a 1 hour hot air balloon ride. Since I'm in Ottawa, I'm glad it is good till June 2004.
P.S. Thanks to my wife!!!

Break out the asbestos suits boys:
Flame On!
Wait a second, something's not quite like the other here.
One or two Intellectual Property lectures in Law School should clear things up.
A.P news has a qoute fron Odin: "I'm pretty thor over all of this".
What "Mickey Mouse" type of thinking is that?
Maybe they just spelled "Mysica" with a lisp.
Given that analogy, I'd rather be thirsty.
I tried to write "Jokes for Dummies" but I didn't get it.
...the top 3 percentile for raw intelligence
I like my intelligence fully cooked, not half-baked.
C'mon, didn't the feathers glued to the wall "do it" for you?
No?
How about the cardboard?
