SCO's claims against Linux have no merit, so lack of merit won't stop them. But a couple of other things more likely will: First, the BSD community is much smaller potatoes. Much less appealing. Second, SCO is unlikely to survive its attack on Linux. The legal bills alone are ruinous. And when somebody successfully countersues them or some regulatory agency nails them for fraud -- both quite likely scenarios -- the end will come that much sooner. -- David Benfell, LCP benfell@parts-unknown.org --- Resume available at http://www.parts-unknown.org/resume.html
