[wplug] Thought/Question on SCO

[Steven Leach]

SCO issued a statement some time ago that Caldera users would be exempt 
from future [il]legal action.

Other interesting questions though:

Is SCO still distributing Caldera?

If so, someone, probably GNU, needs to serve them with a cease and 
desist order.  Their attempts to extort money from companies and 
private users as well as distributors is a direct violation of the GPL 
which therefore nullifies their right to distribute the GPL software in 
question.

Furthermore, they have now finally succeeded in extracting "license 
fees" from at least one company which leaves SCO in a more dubious 
position than before.  In theory they could now be brought up under 
fraud charges for these fees which they have managed to collect.
