May 16, 2003 SCO Faces Hurdles in Linux Claims By Thor Olavsrud "SCO Group (Quote, Company Info) may have put Linux customers on notice Wednesday, but it still has legal hurdles to overcome in proving its legal case, and financing its legal crusade may not be easy either, experts said...." "A Moot Point?" "But even if SCO can prove that its intellectual property was added to the Linux kernel, its case is moot, according to Columbia Law School Professor Evan Moglen, pro bono publico general counsel for the Free Software Foundation. The Free Software Foundation maintains the GNU General Public License, under which Linux is distributed." ""There is absolute difficulty with this line of argument which ought to make everybody in the world aware that the letters that SCO has put out can be safely put in the wastebasket," Moglen told internetnews.com, noting that SCO distributed its own version of Linux with a kernel that allegedly contains Unix-derived code." http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/2207791 Cheers, Curtis
