 Maybe McBride should start a religion?

...Unless and until SCO gives the Linux community the opportunity to
correct any real problems that it may have, SCO is in a very difficult
position.  And if IBM is correct it its characterisation of the facts --
that SCO knows or should know that its claims are bogus -- SCO itself
could be in serious jeopardy. Both IBM and Red Hat allege facts that sound
of market manipulation by SCO. Perhaps the Securities Exchange Commission
or some State attorneys general will develop an interest in this case
before it is all over. SCO could find this experience to be very painful.
Meanwhile, most Linux users might well take a pass on SCO's proposed
licence until the fight with IBM results in a much clearer picture about
the pedigree of Linux.
