The SCO lawsuit
Recently the mainstream press has been covering the recent legal action the SCO Group has brought against IBM regarding the alleged transfer of licensed Unix intellectual property into GNU/Linux. Given the complex historical ownership of the genetic Unix code, the prior legal settlement over the AT&T / BSD lawsuit and the subsequent recognition genetic Unix incorporated a good deal of BSD code, and the seemingly bizarre actions of SCO since the start of the case this has the making of both a very lengthy and complex legal battle.
Fortunately for the average Joe someone has taken the time to summarize the recent events in the context of the Dukes of Hazzard in an effort to make them easier to understand. I think this is extremely funny - perhaps Court TV has a new show concept.
You can find it here.
Enjoy!
