Obviously they don't have a clue...Linus' first version of Linux was based on a UNIX kernel that was already public domain.  If any one is at fault its SCO for having ridiculously high prices for their licensing in the first place.  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Matt Darnell Sent: Thursday, May 15, 2003 9:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [luau] FUD packers  The SCO Group, which owns key components of the Unix operating system, has sent letters to Linux customers claiming the software is an "unauthorized derivative" of its property. The letters, which were sent earlier this week to companies around the world, warned that commercial users of Linux may face legal liability for using the operating system without a license from SCO. http://www.crn.com/components/Nl/direct/article.asp?ArticleID=41970
