21. Since the license is needed only by commercial users of a Linux 2.4 kernel and later versions, does that imply that non-commercial users and earlier versions of the Linux kernels are non-infringing?
Major portions of UNIX(R) System V and derivative works began appearing in version 2.4 of the kernel. Prior versions of the kernel are largely unaffected. All distributions of Linux 2.4 and later versions of the kernel contain major infringements, regardless of whether Linux is being used in a commercial or non-commercial environment. At this time, SCO is focusing on the commercial uses only.
So is it safe to say all we have to do is redevelop from kernel 2.3.x and say buzz off to SCO?
Why can SCO just say hey here is the code we found in Linux that infringes on our intellectual property rights and then we say here is the code we took out of Linux to make you happy?
Why is this such a pain in the backside?

Apple Corps is a corpse its dead LOL Long live ipod!

Vapor ware I bet. Sounds to good to be true!
I find all my laptop replacement parts on eBay really cheap. Cause I do it eBay ;)
I just read on the SCO FAQ and it says BSD users are not affected. Is this because SCO is not ready to add Apple to the target list?
