Pamela,
If anyone were in a position to author a book on this topic for the general public, it's you. I hope you'll consider it.
Good luck and thanks for keeping us wired.
The "American pro-capitalist mainstream" are not going to stop their adoption of linux because SCO tried (or even succeeded) in painting these guys as socialists.
You're confusing my post with its replies.
Where in my post did I say that SCO is trying to stop the adoption of linux? SCO is trying to OVERTAKE the adoption of linux and its BECAUSE of its healthy bottom line.
SCO is also attempting to discredit the current OSS model as unstable, unaccountable and unmanagable. Who do you think they're trying to convince? They're doing it by attacking the GPL and its advocates.
This may seem perverse to members of the OS community but by serving subpoenas to Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman, I'd say SCOs' PR strategy (via legal recourse) is aiming to discredit them as leftist/socialist/communist subversives (don't laugh) to the American pro-capitalist mainstream.
Consider SCO statements that claim "the GPL is unconstitutional" or the philosophy motivating linux is to "destroy commercial software".
I'll bet the questions directed toward them will include references to RS social contentions posted on his web site and perhaps if Linus Torvalds is - "a devoted communist, like your father".
