[Luni]-understanding the Linux/SCO court case

[Steve Johnson]

I agree, but what I mean by drive and ability is that, 
Linux != open-source, nor the only open-source tool for folks like us. 
Worst case senario, They do find Unix code in Linux, Linus goes to
court, fights to get back all the non-unix source within Linux, which
would still amount to at least 95% of it.  Then over a couple months the
community pitches in and finishes it back up.  If it can't be called
Linux, we call it something else.  Whatever happens, my point is, the
idea of Linux and Open-Source will not die.  And most companies I know
and have worked for, partially because I haven't had the pleasure, or
pain of working for large corporations, don't care about this, and will
continue to support open-souce, from which ever direction it goes. 
Mainly because they can't afford anything else.  And they're not the
kind of folks to let this get in their way of doing business! 
Open-source is not going anywhere, and hopefully Linux too.
