The interesting thing is that this whole thing actually made the local 
public radio station with a story from National Public Radio (NPR).  Of 
course, these sorts of public radio stories are always "behind the 
curve" but it described linux as being an operating system developed by 
a collective of internet-based developers, mentioned that SCO had 
purchased some rights to the Unix OS, that SCO had claimed that some 
as-yet-undisclosed portions of Unix code had been copied into linux and 
finally that SCO was now expecting linux users to pay a license fee.

The story then went on to say that NPR reporters had contacted some 
developers of the linux code who then said that, if SCO would tell them 
which portions of the code had been so copied, that they would then 
rewrite these portions of offending code "in about a day".

I was driving my car and laughed so hard I nearly drove off the road.
