Oh, great, thanks a lot. Now I have to *think* before I act. ;-)

Well, my first reaction is that the comments from the gallery are wise and
true, in addition to being no darn fun at all. 

James, what is the claim at the core of the SCO thing? I thought SCO's
complaint was based on snippets of identical source code, not on mere
suspicion that somebody once had access to SCO intellectual properly and may
have viewed it. Viewing intellectual property is not the same as stealing
it, or is it? Reading the Telltale Heart is not the same as plagiarizing
Poe.

Forgive my deliberate naivet� here. Sometimes I learn better this way.
