I think it's clear that in light of the current unstable legal situation with
respect to SCO++'s claims against his competitors, the best course of action
is to adopt a "wait and see" attitude before siding with any of his opponents.
After all, in the final tally it might be found that SCO++ has indeed been
slandered, and that he does in fact have a claim on the intellectual ownership
of the UUG. Sure, many others may have contributed their thoughts on the GPL,
etc., etc., but this isn't about intellectual ownership, it's about contract
law. And this, my friends, is Chewbacca. Now, Chewbacca lives on Endor.
That does not make sense. But if Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must vote for
SCO++. In conclusion, until it can be ascertained whether SCO++ really does
rightfully own the intellectual rights to the UUG, you might consider having
your questions answered by the local Windows user's group, or even (shudder)
YMac.
