zero0w Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Testing GPL in Court is stupid. Even you can invalidate GPL does not mean you can own the copyright in anyway. What SCO did on the contrary is strengthening GPL and Linux legitimacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwiftDeath Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 YeeHa, With France using MDK and now the German overruling it'll be hard to get the rest of those silly laws passed in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
