An Open Letter From Darl McBride
posted by mpawlo on Friday December 05, @12:18AM
from the sco-vs-ibm dept.
Open Source SCO's CEO Darl McBride has published an open letter stating why the GNU GPL violates the United States Constitution and the U.S. copyright and patent laws. McBride's states:

'We take these actions secure in the knowledge that our system of copyright laws is built on the foundation of the U.S. Constitution and that our rights will be protected under law. We do so knowing that those who believe “software should be free” cannot prevail against the U.S. Congress and voices of seven U.S. Supreme Court justices who believe that “the motive of profit is the engine that ensures the progress of science.”'
