-<h3>SCO Scuttles Sense, Claiming GPL Invalidity</h3>
 <p>by <strong>Eben Moglen</strong></p>
 <p>Monday 18 August 2003</p>
 
 <p>
 Now that the tide has turned, and SCO is facing the dissolution of its
-legal position, claiming to "enforce its intellectual property rights"
-while actually massively infringing the rights of others, the company and
-its lawyers have jettisoned even the appearance of legal responsibility.
-Last week's Wall Street Journal carried statements by Mark Heise, outside
-counsel for SCO, challenging the "legality" of the Free Software
-Foundation's GNU General Public License (GPL).  The GPL both protects
-against the baseless claims made by SCO for license fees to be paid by
-users of free software, and also prohibits SCO from its ongoing
-distribution of the Linux kernel, a distribution which infringes the
-copyrights of thousands of contributors to the kernel throughout the
-world.  As IBM's recently-filed counterclaim for copyright infringement
-and violation of the GPL shows, the GPL is the bulwark of the community's
-legal defense against SCO's misbehavior.  So naturally, one would expect
-SCO to bring forward the best possible arguments against the GPL and its
-application to the current situation.  But there aren't any best
-arguments; there aren't even any good arguments, and what SCO's lawyer
-actually said was arrant, unprofessional nonsense.
-</p>
-<p>
-According to the Journal, Mr Heise announced that SCO would challenge the
-GPL's "legality" on the ground that the GPL permits licensees to make
-unlimited copies of programs it covers, while copyright law only allows a
-single copy to be made.  The GPL, the Journal quoted Mr Heise as saying,
-"is preempted by federal copyright law."

 This argument is frivolous, by which I mean that it would be a
 violation of professional obligation for Mr Heise or any other lawyer
 to submit it to a court.  If it were true, no copyright license could
 permit the licensee to make multiple copies of the licensed program.
-That would make not just the GPL "illegal."  Mr Heise's supposed
-theory would also invalidate the BSD, Apache, AFL, OSL, MIT/X11, and
-all other free software licenses.  It would invalidate the Microsoft
-Shared Source license.  It would also eliminate Microsoft's method for
-the distribution of the Windows operating system, which is pre-loaded
-by hard drive manufacturers onto disk drives they deliver by the
-hundreds of thousands to PC manufacturers.  The licenses under which
-the disk drive and PC manufacturers make multiple copies of
-Microsoft's OS would also, according to Mr Heise, violate the
-law.  Redmond will be surprised.

 <p>
 Of course, Mr Heise's statement is nothing but moonshine, based on an
 intentional misreading of the Copyright Act that would fail on any law
 school copyright examination.  Mr Heise is referring to section 117 of
-the US Copyright Act, which is entitled "Limitation on exclusive
-rights: computer programs," and which provides that:

 SCO's lawsuit asserts that IBM has breached contractual obligations
 between the two companies, and also that IBM has incorporated trade
 secret information concerning the design of the Unix operating system
-into what SCO calls generally ``Linux.''  This latter claim has
-recently been expanded in extra-judicial statements by SCO employees
-and officers to include suggestions that ``Linux'' includes material
-copied from Unix in violation of SCO's copyrights.  An allegation to
-this effect was contained in letters apparently sent by SCO to 1500 of
-the world's largest companies warning against use of free software on
-grounds of possible infringement liability.

 </p>

 <p>
 It is crucial to clarify certain confusions that SCO's spokesmen have
 shown no disposition to dispel.  In the first place, SCO has used
-``Linux'' to mean ``all free software,'' or ``all free software
-constituting a Unix-like operating system.''  This confusion, which
-the Free Software Foundation warned against in the past, is here shown
-to have the misleading consequences the Foundation has often
-predicted.  ``Linux'' is the name of the kernel most often used in
-free software systems.  But the operating system as a whole contains
-many other components, some of them products of the Foundation's GNU
-Project, others written elsewhere and published under free software
-licenses; the totality is GNU, the free operating system on which we
-have been working since 1984.  Approximately half GNU's components are
-copyrighted works of the Free Software Foundation, including the
-C-compiler GCC, the GDB debugger, the C library Glibc, the bash shell,
-among other essential parts.  The combination of GNU and the Linux
-kernel produces the GNU/Linux system, which is widely used on a
-variety of hardware and which <em>taken as a whole</em> duplicates 
-the functions once only performed by the Unix operating system.

 SCO's confusing use of names makes the basis of its claims unclear:
-has SCO alleged that trade secrets of Unix's originator, AT&amp;T--of
-which SCO is by intermediate transactions the successor in
-interest--have been incorporated by IBM in the kernel, Linux, or in
-parts of GNU?  If the former, there is no justification for the broad
-statements urging the Fortune 1500 to be cautious about using free
-software, or GNU programs generally.  If, on the other hand, SCO
-claims that GNU contains any Unix trade secret or copyrighted
-material, the claim is almost surely false.  Contributors to the GNU
-Project promise to follow the Free Software Foundation's rules for the
-project, which specify--among other things--that contributors must
-not enter into non-disclosure agreements for technical information
-relevant to their work on GNU programs, and that they must not consult
-or make any use of source code from non-free programs, including
-specifically Unix.  The Foundation has no basis to believe that GNU
-contains any material about which SCO or anyone else could assert
-valid trade secret or copyright claims.  Contributors could have made
-misrepresentations of fact in their copyright assignment statements,
-but failing willful misrepresentation by a contributor, which has never
-happened so far as the Foundation is aware, there is no significant
-likelihood that our supervision of the freedom of our free software
-has failed.  The Foundation notes that despite the alarmist statements
-SCO's employees have made, the Foundation has not been sued, nor has
-SCO, despite our requests, identified any work whose copyright the
-Foundation holds-including all of IBM's modifications to the kernel
-for use with IBM's S/390 mainframe computers, assigned to the
-Foundation by IBM--that SCO asserts infringes its rights in any way.

 Copyright, as the United States Supreme Court has repeatedly

-kernel, the claim of copyright infringement would fail, because SCO
-has itself distributed the kernel under GPL.  By doing so, SCO
-licensed everyone everywhere to copy, modify, and redistribute that
