If all of the open source applications will remove SCO support, SCO's budget will be distributed towards adding this support back. This can reduce the amount of money going towards the lawsuit. Or worse - if all of the major open-source licenses will add an anti-SCO clause, banning use on a SCO machine, SCO will be left behind with current versions unless they write their own versions. They have to be different than the O/S versions, because doing otherwise would be a violation of the license. They have to be released, per the old O/S license that they are bound to. But there are other implications to this form of activism. Soon some guy who doesn't like some country will add a clause to the O/S license banning use in that country... Not a good precedent. -- Arik ********************************************************************** This email and attachments have been scanned for potential proprietary or sensitive information leakage.
