Story: SCO to attack validity of Linux licence

SCO's argument is specious.
US Copyright law grants the copyright holder the right to make copies or derivitive works or *authorize others* to make copies or derivitive works.
What the GPL does is authorize others to copy and derive on certain conditions.
If SCO is correct, then "site" licenses would also be invalid because they authorize you to copy the software on many machine at a site.
