The court case that led up to this article (SCO v IBM) is about FILCHING other people's code and using the GPL "poison pill" provision to justify the theft. You people can do whatever you want with your own code and license it any way you want because the GPL is going to fail in the long run anyway just like any other form of leftism. (In fact it may even be revoked in the United States as a result of the afore mentioned case.)

The only proof offered by SCO so far was rapidly shot down in flames. The GPL and BSD licenses are all about freedom. It would seem that some people just can't handle freedom on such a massive scale.

You seem to assume that SCO has an actual case. It doesn't, or it would have revealed the offending code by now. It's nothing but a pump-n-dump operation run by bullying suits. The geek community, commies and libertarians alike, will take great pleasure in busting up this scam.
