Personally, I'd say don't bother worrying about it till a court decision
is handed down, or until SCO decides what it's doing is really silly and
that it should back down from its position...
Altho I am curious to see how the *other* issue (Novell vs. SCO on who
ACTUALLY owns the original AT&T code...) turns out. I'm thinkin' it's
time to kick back with a bucket of popcorn and a soda and enjoy the
fireworks.
Just a personal opinion tho.

Subject: AIX 5L & SCO lawsuits.
fellow AIXers,
as everyone already knows, SCO in a surprising turnover threatens IBM
with lawswits for 'infringing contract restrictions' over SCO
proprietary Unix technologies which IBM allegedly 'delivered' into the
Linux kernel. since these technologies probably shipped with AIX 5L --
the L stands for 'Linux integration' AFAIK -- I would like to ask you
what you think about SCO's arguments.
SCO says that 'permission' granted to IBM for use of that technologies
expires friday, June 13th. do we need to care about SCO's threats?
TIA,
marlon - aix & linux geek
