Scodera drops the other shoe

[Aaron Grewell]

No, this has nothing whatsoever to do with BSD.  AT&T/Novell dealt with
their legal issues with FreeBSD a long time ago.  The other BSD's are all
built on the code that resulted from that settlement.  That lawsuit is dead
and buried.

So, in the latest move against Unix/Linux/*BSD, MS will buy out SCO, and 
then insist that everyone with the letters "L", "U", "N", "I", "X", "B", 
"S", and "D" on their computer keyboards will have to take out a 
license, which will be priced $10 higher than that of a comparible 
license for XP. Thus forcing nervous PIB's everywhere to buy MS .....

Now what I really want to know is why SCO is not also sueing MS, as the 
TCP/IP code in Windows is derived/stolen/heavily copied from BSD, which 
in turn is stolen from SCO, isn't it --- at least as SCO sees it?
