On page 38 of <http://www.groklaw.net/pdf/Doc-27.pdf>, lawyers for IBM assert Based on the misconduct described herein, SCO's rights to distribute the copyrighted works of others included in Linux under the GPL have been terminated pursuant to ยง4 of the GPL. So, I have a choice. I can believe lawyers who work for one of the largest companies in the world and have vast experience in dealing with patent and copyright law, that the termination clause is meaningful enough to be stated as a claim. Or I can believe a crank on Usenet. I believe I'll go with the former.
