InfoWorld: SCO Readies New Linux Licensing Program The SCO Group is preparing a new Linux licensing program that it claims will allow users of the open-source operating system to run Linux without fear of litigation.  [Linux Today]

That, of course, presumes that Linux as it stands today is illegal in that it carries code that was stolen from SCO.  It would be mighty nice if SCO would pony up some proof that shows that Linux is an illegal derivative of their flavoe of Unix.  Until then, this is just more FUD funded by sweet licensing deals from MSFT and Sun.
