I think it's fair to say that SCO's actions so far haven't really done
anything to give Linux users any warm fuzzy feelings.  In fact, many
things they do seem to go out of their way to provoke folks in the Linux
community.

It would be fantastic if the Linux users didn't act on their getting
provoked, but I can understand why they are.

We can't discuss how much or how little of Linux is tainted, because SCO
isn't providing enough details on which millions of lines of code they
believe was copied from their IP.  The millions of lines of code number
sounds quite high though...
