<stuff snipped> I honestly believe in paying for software (if that is what the developer or wants). I even go so far as paying for Microsoft products because my sons need them to run his game, edutainment and learning programs. I appreaciate the fact that some people want compensation for the intellectual work. I wanted it with the books and articles I published. So, if Caldera actually has a case then I feel a moral obligation to stop using whatever it is that is violating their rights. After all, I would hate someone to make money off of one of my books or articles. However, I am not stupid. Simply saying that that by using Linux I am doing something illegal is not enough. After all, we are talking about millions of lines of code in thousands of programs. I want to know just what it is that I am doing that is illegal. I also find it somewhat insulting to claim I am doing something illegal without giving me a chance to correct that problem. So, perhaps I should just sue SCO. Not for millions of dollar, but just enough to keep it within small claims court. With old Darl as the defendent, more than likely he will have to appear personally rather than be able to send his lawyer. (at least that is how it works in other states). So if thousands of Linux users all sued Caldera in small claims court, (making sure it never got to class action status), then we could keep 'em busy for the next couple of years dealing with our law suits. If he doesn't show, then we win by default and collect $500 (for example). Times 100,000 Linux users who decide to sue, that's not a small piece of change. (which they probably don't have to begin with.) Just a thought. Regards, jimmo -- --------------------------------------- "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation.
