I didn't read the OSDN charter, but could the move allow IBM, HP, etc. to provide legal support in case SCO sues Linus directly? They are OSDN members. Transmetas pockets are certainly not deep enough and Linus isn't filthy rich. Perhaps the offer was made now because SCO has not yet filed such a suit but now seems intent on it. I don't know, would switching jobs after the suit would have legal ramifications?
