Well, in all honesty, SCO *did* distribute Linux under the GPL, so according to that, they can't charge anything for it. Actually, the whole lawsuit doesn't hold - SCO realeased its software under the GPL, and once it's under the GPL, you can't take it away.
I hope to see IBM/RedHat/Novell and all the rest give SCO a kick where it hurts most - pride.
