The reason the GPL is the problem is because they dont want you to give what they sell. I made mention about this before that IBM did not do an opsy and put the code in the linux Kernel they. They knew what they where doing from the begining.
I mentioned before also that the GPL is what would come under attack and that its not about stopping linux alone.This is a well planed effort to stop free software. Here is what I said when every one thought SCO was trying to get bought out.Re:Is anybody surprised by this move??? (Score:1)

IBM will not buy SCO. Do you think it was a oopsy that the code was put there in the first place? This is a surely a joint effort.IBM was well aware of its intentions when they put the code in the kernel.This is an attack on the GPL not LINUX and you will see what im talking about later. Its so obvious yet the people will not see they will cry about microsoft and not see the other culp. 1 billion in damages is small change between microsoft and IBM. The CFOs of these companies are drooling over the impact this will make on there companies. Wow to Knock that penguins lights out for 1 billion dollars. This is cheap compaird to the over all threat linux under the GPL is.
Here is what I also wrote when they said microsoft was behind every thing:

You have been dupped. How is it that you think IBM did a boo boo and put a little proprietary code in the linux kernel? Linux is not what is comming under attack here its the GPL that will be the focus. And this whole thing was plannned.GPL threatins proprietary software period not just microsofts. So look a little closer you might just see the ones claiming to be the friend (IBM) knew this all along. So what IBM is gettting sued for 1 billion dollars but I am sure this is a cheap price to pay to do permanant damge to opensource software. GPL IS UNDER ATTACK NOT LINUX. LOOK CLOSER!
Yes Im aware of the fact that SCO sent letters warning companies that they could face legal action. But SCO has been selling their version of linux for some time even after they anounced the suit against IBM. So in court its not going to come down to if there is SCO code in the linux Kernel. Because the community will use the fact that SCO was also selling its product under the GPL. Thus the focus will switch to the validty of the GPL and if a court says you can violate your own proprietary code by using the GPL and others can not there is a problem with the GPL. Its their CODE they can give it away and then change their minds at will. For those who SCO gave the code to is legitimate for those who SCO did not give the code to is ilegitimate even under the GPL.The community must have a new strategy because whining about GPL GPL will get them nowhere. If I write code I can give it away to some and sell it to others that does'nt mean its not proprietary. Even MICROSOFT was doing this to compete with Linux.Giving away windows dirt cheap to GOVs and EDUs.If the community gets in to a long heated debate of the GPL all is lost but if they just regroup and combine resources they can have this fixed quickly by re writting the code. But the community is usually to emotional for these types of situations. All I've heard from the community is cracks and insults directed at evil. You can not fight evil with evil. Im on Gods side who's side are you on?
I see peepooo in da bushesss!
No Just kidding retards!
You all need tinfoil hats!
Take the RED PILL THE RED ONE and maybe you people might see this is a real conspiracy.
Its not about SCO or IBM or SYS V its about taking away your right to freely give away software that threatens the profits of big corporations. The GPL is being attacked.
IBM did a boo boo and put proprietary code in the linux kernel? (DOH) I dont think so homie. And like I said before they are going to put the GPL on the chopping block. IBM sues SCO for violating the GPL? HHAHAHAH The are about to stress test the GPL?! LOL This is funny shit dont you see satans sqaud doesnt want you to love your neihbor?
This is why the Good Samaritans will rule the world. You cant tax what is given and big corporations will not survive when every thing is free. GPL is a Powerful Powerful example of what love can do. When you give they fall!THEY DONT WANT YOU TO GIVE AWAY WHAT THEY WANT TO SELL. HEED MY WORDS. THESE COMPANIES ARE TOTALLY FOR SLAYING YOUR GPL! You will see.
I wrote about this stupid attempt to take away your freedom before. All this whining about sco not proving where their IP has been violated is worthless. They have a case because IBM put the code in the kernel. The real reason for this is to test the validty of the GPL.h I wrote about this before but they claim I see flying elephants and need a tin foil hat LOL dumb asses. BLIND BLIND BLIND. HERE IS THE TRUTH.When will you see that THE GPL is being attacked? This can not be about crushing linux alone. Take a look and see what opensource has done to an entire industry. It has made a some what level playing field in information technology as an industry. Now just about anyone can get in the game with out using one bit of proprietary software. IBM didnt embrace Linux because it wanted too but because it had too. Ive been asking a question to other people but I have yet to receive and answer and that is does IBM benifit more with or with out Linux? If you are honest you say IBM would also wish LINUX vanished. Take a look at the senario just a few months ago SUN dropped its linux distro HMMM I wonder why? NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE COMPANIES EMBRACE LINUX BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO. THE DID IT BECAUSE THEY HAD NO CHOICE. NOW THEY ARE GOING TO CHALLENGE THE VERY HEART OF OPEN SOURCE THE GPL NOT LINUX.Hireing someone from the community for consultation? About what selling out the community? Wake up IBM SUN AND MICROSOFT ARE IN ALL IN ON THIS ONE. HAHA IF SUN WANTED TO SELL YOU EQUIPMENT WITH LINUX INSTALLED ON IT THEY WOULD SELL YOU SUNLINUX NOT ANY OTHER DISTRO. ITS COST EFFECTIVE FOR SUN TO CREATE THEIR OWN DISTRO. THEY DUMPED THIER DISTRO BECAUSE THEY NEW TO DO SO. THOSE ARE THE BIG THREE MICROSOFT IBM AND SUN AND THOSE ARE TOGETHER IN THIS ONE. IF SOME ONE DEVELOPED A OPEN SOURCE CREDIT SCORING SYSTEM WOULD WE NEED TO PAY TRW EXPERIAN AND TRANSUNION TO VEIW A CREDIT SCORE? OPEN SOURCE STRONG ARMED THESE BOYS AND THE FACT IS A 1234 or 5 billion dollar price tag would benifit these compaines to see opensource fail. I would guess opensource has caused at least 100 billion in loss to these companies. So what is a billion or two law suit. Youve been dupped.
