Seems many Americans believe that by watching LA Law, The Practice and other
similar dramas, they can become legal experts.  I think most people
(including myself) are completely unqualified to give an opinion on the
legal argument of the case.

Also, even if SCO wins, the effect may not be felt in other countries, as
their justice systems are independent and may differ from that of the US. In
Germany for instance there is a restraining order, which forbids SCO to make
statements like linux infringes SCO copyright.

For my part I simply sit back and wait until a judgement is made - after
that there is still time to think and discuss.
