How so? That was SCO's big gambit, and it failed miserably on all
fronts. She's smoking crack.
There's no copyright issue anymore.
That's why MS is now bluffing with the patent card. That's what they
should have done in the first place. It would have been a bit more
effective back then.
Microsoft made a tactical error by using SCO/copyrights instead
MS/patents.
Now people say "Microsoft patents? Yawn, same shit, different day."
