    The best statement that I've read so far vis-a-vie the SCO litigation is
    the OSI group's position paper on the matter.  It doesn't focus on the
    USL lawsuit but it gives a really good overview of the whole situation,
    and it brings up the fact that AT&T was caught red-handed taking code
    from BSD, removing the copyrights, and putting their own on, which
    severely taints the efficacy of any IP claims made based on the SysV
    code.

    SCO is basically trying to inflate its own importance and the importance
    of its SysV copyrights and the contributions SysV made to the history
    of unix, and all public statements SCO makes are done with that in mind.
    It's unfortunate that the press feels (generally, not BYTE specifically)
    that it must turn the whole thing into high entertainment.
