That could be one of the dumbest things I've ever read. Linus reverse engineered a free unix-like kernel. There is no intellectual property there. Not to mention.... who could they sue? There is no ONE company that backs linux. That's like trying to sue God because you might have written a paragraph in the Bible and he's getting credit for it.
LeechWah! Wah!
In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.

SCO doesn't have to sue anyone. If they won they can stop any other companies from selling Linux hence a monoploy. Saying that, they won't win.
Oh if they won then other Unices would probably die too (*BSD Solaris Minix Hurd etc).P4 Northwood 1.8GHz@2.7GHz 1.65V Albatron PX845PEV Pro

Of course, they couldn't sell Linux either. All that GPL would get in the way, and Linus owns the <I>Linux</I> trademark, so they'd need another name.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw.
