[ale] Red Hat sues SCO

[Transam]

This URL is of Red Hat's filed lawsuit against SCO for fraud, unfair
business practices, etc. and asserts that SCO has knowingly falsely
claimed that Linux contains trade secrets (proprietary Unix code
owned by SCO).

Red Hat is asking for a jury trial and treble damages.  I read the
suit and it has satisfied me that SCO has absolutely no claim and
that nobody should be concerned about using Linux code.  Further,
that Red Hat will pursue this and obtain a court decision that will
forever put this question to rest.
