Right, I never meant/said otherwise.
Who committed the crime (assuming there's any which needs to be proved of

So this make sense to the original post of Ender

is no possibility to demand any money from anyone.
Of course they can demand money for any costs(or revenue lose) derivated of
copyritght infringement to the people who introduced the code, but this is
near 0$ because they also distributed the same code under GPL.
Anyway I'm not a lawyer but I can see SCO not being honest demanding Linux
users to pay licenses.

What I want to say is that is not logical that a judge sentences the
introductor of the copyright infringement to pay LOT of money because the
theorical copyrighted
code was already distributed by the theorical owner for free (and with
same software
license). Anyway I don't know at all, I'm only speculating and try to
understand both sides.
I see.
Quite honestly I don't see how they quantify the price either.

>judge, not if things are *right* or *wrong*. Oh, yes, unfortunately ;-)
I agree, was only my personal opinion.
And so was mine and always will ;-)
Have a great day Toni!
