"There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion 
that because a man or corporation has made a profit out of the public for a 
number of years, the government and the courts are charged with the duty of 
guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing 
circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not 
supported by statute nor common law."

-- Robert A. Heinlein, "Lifeline"

Written in the late 30's.  I personally feel this sums up SCO's position 
perfectly.
