SCO reveals gameplan: Maim open source

In a move that could stun the open source community---or worse, shut it

argue that the GPL's provisions allowing unlimited copying and
modification are not compatible with U.S. copyright law, which allows
software buyers to make only a single copy. Just what every copyright
holder wants: for copyright law to dictate what they can and cannot do
with their intellectual property. Our special report has complete
coverage of the SCO-IBM-Linux battle.
