Maybe I should read it all;-0 "IBM argues in the counterclaims that SCO is prohibited from treating any code it distributed under the GPL as proprietary and that its current plan to require Linux users to pay isn't legal." I guess that's some way to the indemnity. 'Because the GPL prohibits SCO from asserting proprietary rights over GPL-covered source code, for example by trying to collect license fees, "SCO's rights to distribute the copyrighted works of others included in Linux under the GPL have been terminated," IBM said.' I've been wondering about that before this: what's to prevent someone whose GPL licence is terminated by their own action from immediately obtaining a new one? I don't recall there is a clause prohibiting this. -- Cheers John.
