SCO doesn't own parts of it, or even claim to!

IBM and Sun are not trying to own it or suppress it.

Bill Gates isn't sending its paid development offshore (nor is Fiorina, McNealey, Ellison, nor Palmisano, to mention a few others).

- Ok, about 95% kidding there.

It's the best way off recyceling your petium 233Mhz and run the freakiest things on it.
