Linux community told to 'get real'

The Linux community should come down from the moral high ground, says 
technology analyst Bill Thompson

"Linux is a great operating system, and free software is a vital alternative 
to the buggy systems sold by Microsoft and other large companies. 
It is not perfect though, and it is not immune from copyright law just because 
it is morally superior. 
The Linux community needs to accept that this could be a real problem, and put 
processes in place to make sure it cannot happen instead of simply dismissing 
all criticism as unfounded. "

This statement is quite OK, but who is Bill Thompson? This BBC article sugesst 
that SCO has a Copyright - BTW SCOX is over 14$ high again.


"Should the Linux community get off their high-horses and face the realities 
of copyright?
