I still say there is little point drawing any conclusions from SCO vs IBM
other than SCO are idiots ;)

That actually could also be the problem. Why should I ally myself with one
camp? I have already made it quite clear I am a pragmatist first and
foremost, thus allying myself with either camp would be silly. I will
always pick the best solution, not the purest one or the cheapest one. All
factors are weighed.

the only rules we need are the clauses in software licenses and they
should not be imposed on anyone who doesn't want them.
