The simple fact is that no true partiot would use Linux at all. In these hard times we must rally around our companies, our economy, and our president. If we let the 'Linux Community' have their way, we will all be at the mercy of the Germans making KDE, or the Japanese with their desktop.
What are you saying? Oh no, there's other country outside USA... We should not help them. Yeah, they should buy US products, but please don't buy their products?
And after that, people will still be amazed that there could be an anti-american feeling in the old countries...

I Am Not American (I'm Canadian) so I don't know about US laws very much but they seems to be like Canada laws
but:
I think that it would be possible for a Linux distributor to get an injunction against SCO to stop them making any declaration that create FUD over Linux if they don't show the proofs to the public. I think they (the distributors) could claim that SCO's allegations are detrimental for their business.
Well, you could say "Vive la Mandrake" but only if you're in France. In Quebec (you know that part of North America that still speaks French) it's "Vive Mandrake" for the company and "Vive les produits Mandrake" for the products!;)
Bonne journée!
I not sure because I lost the docs that came with the XBox, but I think that there is some kind of EULA that said that you're not allowed to do reverse engineering on your XBOX? It would not permit you to design the fabulous Linux for XBOX no? With or without the DMCA? No matter where you live?
IANAL but I think that's not legal...
Anyway, XBOX it's problably the only good thing that Microsoft did these last 5 years, so why don't you enjoy it for what it is???
Even if IBM buy SCO

Even if IBM buy SCO, they probably couldn't make Unix open-source because SCO, as they claim, doesn't own all the copyright on Unix, but the right "to defend them".
The big deal isn't that the Weather Channel is running AIX. Many banks are using AIX as their OS. Because AIX is known to be secure.
So, SCO is doing something dangerous for their "case". Now, the David-against-Goliath case they think they've got is transforming in a David-against-GoliathS
I don't understand what they're trying to do. Do they want to run out of business? Or do they are simply stupid?
It's possible that SCO wants IBM to sue them. Let's me explain this: if IBM sur SCO, it's IBM's job to prove that they didn't use Unix code in Linux. If SCO sue IBM, it's SCO's job to prove that IBM used Unix' code.
The difference is small, but important!

What could we do with a RFID glass? We do absolutly need a RFID pitcher!
It's cool because the waiter will spend less time watching glasses, so he's gonna have more time to watch the girls in the bar.
Phew, an Australian already has patented the wheel, so SCO won't be able too...

You know when it's written "Tested 11 times" on a condom box. Is it this guy who tested them?

That's one of the most stupid thing I've ever heard. Terrorists used airplane, so airline help terrorists?
But they are not the first to tell it, The Register published an article one year ago saying that Open source invites terrorism.
The recipe is simple: take something that afraid people (terrorism) then stick it to anything you don't like. Pfff...
Sorry, I wrote Weather Channel when I should have worte Weather Service! :S
