Re:I Hope SCO doesn't win on that GPL thing (Score 1)

Don't think so; I believe it to be a matter of accountability.

Here you have a company whos sole purpose is to code and sell SCO.

In trying to make SCO better they decided to include Linux
binary support and also bridge the gap between the two.

Now one would think that if you were going to do something
like this you would follow clean room rules to protect both
your code as well as some one elses. Not to mention be
extremely careful in how things are documented, and ensure
that the employees are properly supervised, to eliminate any
violations.

However if SCO did leak code, and did not properly research
the problem or find out who did what. Then they are not holding
themselves accountable for their own actions. And making things
worse spreading lies about other companies; and also trying to
extort money from them.

Now if SCO is infact the victim, then you are right, they
have a right to investigate this violation on their property
and seek compensation for their loss, by holding the guilty
party accountable for _their_ actions.

The problem here is that SCO doesn't seem to care about
accountability so they will make everyone else suffer for the
failings of a small few.
