-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 One Australian group recently went to court against this, since SCO apparently is trying to extort money without first proving in court that GNU/Linux contains Unix code. IMHO that's a fair approach. Let them prove it in court first that their code was indeed included, and then I think SCO should be asked to wait for a some time in order to remove the offending code, *if proved to be present*, in order to give the community a fair chance to rectify the problem. If after that time the so called offending code isn't removed do we start talking of money changing hands.
