What's yet to be seen is how all the FUD-flinging will affect the US Linux adoption rate...
Well I've been watching this for a while and for the life of me I can't see what anyone has to gain, either in SCO who through this case has lost any shred of credibility in just about everyones eyes, or linux for potentially using dodgy code. No, wait, I can see someone who will benefit no matter the outcome... Microsoft, who just happen to be big shareholders in SCO....
Most levels who use Linux won't worry about this, but enterprise/government stuff will definately suffer because of this. A non agressive monopolistic giant my arse. I hope the EU nail them to the wall when they start really looking into all of this.. would be interesting to see how M$ would react to a tax specifcally tied to them, or a watchdog there to make sure they don't pull any crap like this (as it is with BT over here in the UK with Oftel).
