I have wondered if part of SCO's plan is for SCO to intentionally violate the GPL, in order to force us to respond by taking SCO to court. They would obviously be hoping that, by spending enough money in court (and under the table), they could have the GPL ruled invalid.
The possibility of losing in court would not scare SCO's executives, since they have already demonstrated that they (whether for stock manipulation, or under orders from Microsoft) are quite willing to sacrifice SCO, its employees, and it minor shareholders, in order to damage Linux.
I am curious . . . what happens if we choose _not_ to respond with a GPL-violation suit? Does it weaken the GPL if we choose not to defend it in one instance, or is that just an issue with trademarks?
