Linux Today has a spate of links on SCO's suit against IBM for supposedly
devaluing its intellectual property (which they only acquired long after IBM
got involved in UNIX). Along with them is an editorial from Eric S. Raymond
on the stupidity and the harm of this lawsuit. One of Raymond's best points
is this:
"...it's also deeply stupid to piss off that community like this, unless you
think you're never going to have to hire programmers again. SCO is behaving
as though it thinks its IP portfolio is the only asset it has left."
