SCO and others said that much of the code in the Linux kernel was "literally copied" from their work. (never proven, even after 7 years of litigation by SCO). They also said that people who believe in the GPL did not respect the copyright rights of others. So it's become a point for FOSS people to be sure that they "toe the line" very strictly. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
