(IANAL and all that) wouldn't it be possible for Redhat or any concerned participant in these legal issues to ask for a gag order in this case? It seems to me that if sco couldn't give out threatening press releases than there would be much less FUD. Is there any legal process to stop them from asking for license$$$ until this is settled in court? Couldn't Torvalds (or someone suitable) file a suit claiming that sco does not own the rights to ask for license fees on their IP and make SCO prove their case b4 mugging end users?
