Scodera drops the other shoe

The claim will be statute of limitations starts when IBM last deployed
Linux not when infringing code was written. When SCO knew or should have
known about infringement will be IBM's defense. Still, if SCO can scare
customers while the lawsuit is active, it could take years and kill many
distros. That part in the letter about how Linux is without warranty and so
customers may be liable could kill sales.

Semilegal cartels or oligopolies are the American way. I mean every viable
industry has to have a healthy number two. You get two big players at
least. Think of Coke and Pepsi, or Lockheed, Airbus and Boeing, or Big
Three (or some other number depending how you count today) Auto, or Seven
Sisters Oil, or Phillip Morris and R. J. Reynolds. Any big healthy industry
will have more than one player in the United States. Eventually, for MS to
be healthy, Linux, BSD, OSX, or some OS will have to be healthy if OSs
continue to be a viable industry.

SCO and MS are terrible but they are fighting a losing battle. I hope the
end comes soon.
