Z:gnu-www-ja-subpoena--6315fd-Even though we believe that SC/en

Even though we believe that SCO has no basis to make the claims they make, that does not mean our community should assume it has nothing to learn from these events. Early in the lawsuit, we at FSF were unsure if SCO would attack only the kernel Linux, or the entire GNU/Linux operating system. As copyright holder on most major components of the GNU/Linux system, we of course feared that even while our copyright assignment process is the best and most diligent in the whole Free Software world, we would still be required to expend great effort in showing a judge how exactly we did this job. We are grateful for SCO's tactical error of attacking one of the deepest pockets on earth, IBM, who has the checkbook needed to efficiently fight such a nuisance lawsuit.
