Parent points out some important elements that tend to get lost by the mainly US media (e-week, Slashdot, Newsforge, etc) that are reporting on the SCO story.
But the problem is the US is a past master at leveraging its dominance to force compatible IP laws to be passed in the countries it trades with. If SCO win with their evil methods, and it becomes impossibly chilly for Linux in the US, this will have a major trickledown impact everywhere. Lets hope that the US law is not so broken as to allow such an outrage.
