Slashdot link
The Register link
SCO link
Basically, SCO is now distributing Linux under their own license that honors "their" IP "rights." As CmdrTaco remarked on Slashdot, it's time for every Linux kernel developer to start sending them cease-and-desist letters...

One of Mike's classic quotes comes to mind: "They're suffering shall be legendary." If they are right about the GPL being invalid, unconstitutional, whatever, then all that code revert back to the original authors, and that for the most part is NOT SCO.
Unless, they are going to try to argue that all GPL developers are "tainted" by SCO's unix source code, or that the licenses revert to public domain. Who knows? They probably don't even know.
