SCO has ZERO case! Why is Ziff Davis propogating this mythology spouted by SCO? If the GPL is ruled invalid by the court because "copyright only allows one copy" then by god, this will also mean the end to the publishing industry (an industry that makes millions of copies of books every day), the music industry (how many millions of CD's of music are created each day?) and every other industry that relies on copyrights. What a rediculous claim! I am astounded that anyone would take this seriously. I fully expect SCO's next legal argument to be "the tooth fairy hacked into our computers and magically transferred source code into the Linux kernel!" Then Ziff Davis will publish an article discussing the implications of the tooth fairy hacking into people's computers. Pathetic.
