Stallman says the Boston-based Free Software Foundation, which he 
founded in 1985, has nothing to do with SCO's lawsuit. "SCO is suing 
IBM for violating a contract. We don't even know what the contract 
said. In terms of the resolution of that lawsuit, the Free Software 
Foundation is entirely uninvolved," he says. 

Stallman's GNU/Linux operating system is not the target of SCO's suit. 
Linux, the program SCO is targeting, is not an operating system, but 
only the kernel of the GNU/Linux operating system, which could run 
using a different kernel. 

"I am concerned about long-term entrenched confusions such as referring 
to a version of our GNU OS as 'Linux' and thinking that our work on 
free software was motivated by the ideas associated with 'open source.' 
These confusions lead users away from the basic issue: their freedom. 
By comparison, the events involving SCO are transitory and almost 
trivial," Stallman says.
