An alternative viewpoint is that BSD spent 2-3 years in limbo
whilst the AT&T/BSDI suit ground thru the legal system.  During
this time, Linux managed to get a big headstart.

The current SCO suit has the possibility to do the same to Linux
except that:
1) SCO's claims are so outlandish that no-one takes them seriously
2) SCO has decided to include BSD in it's claims.
