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.

So far the 'filching' part has yet to be proven. 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.

If I hadn't already so presumed, as in this case ...
