Well, lets face it, if SCO *really* want to sue *each* and *every* Linux
user, whether they be home users, businesses or corporate enterprises,
good luck to them.  I say, BRING IT ON!!!  Because lets face it, the
global Linux community is huge, estimated to be several million, and
those are old figures.

If every linux user threw in $50 towards the legal costs of taking on
companies like SCO, it would add up to quite a large amount of money,
add to that what some corporate users might throw in, and you'd probably
have enough to buy out SCO.  In fact, a slightly bigger contribution,
and we'd probably be able to do considerable damage to companies like
Microsoft.
