Rik,

You obviously haven't seen the piece that came out on Monday in which
the leading SCO director in the case, said quite explicitly that they
were reviewing BSD code and the BSD vs AT&T settlement with a view to
'maximising their IP value' in that area.

Plus:

1. None of the BSDs are as consumer friendly as Linux
2. This is a Linux users group
3. Whatever the outcome of the SCO case there's bugger all chance that it
   will stop Linux.

Dave
