I've been hearing a lot about this. Sounds like someone wants to get some big bucks out of open-source software. Maybe *nix won't be open-source for much longer by the sounds of SCO. Scary thought... maybe this is all brought up with the big fight with people using Napter/Kazaa/etc?
Personally I don't see how SCO could go around making everyone buy a license for a software package they downloaded which was labelled as freeware? Not logical to, after all this time, say it's time to pay up because we own the rights to parts of that code.
There's a lot of *nix users here, I'm susprised you people have jumped on this with comments. I'm interested to hear what you guys would do about it!
Just a thought...
