I would say that there is no eason for alarm. SCO does not have any
rights, and we need to wait until they resolve their differences in court
with IBM, RedHat and SuSe. I doubt they have the money to fight them all.
Try to read a few (unbiased) articles on the subject.
But yes, if SCO were to win, all distribuitions would be affected, as they
all are based on the linux kernel. There is a minimum version they are
suing however, below that one they are not interested. Finding the version
number is left as an exercise to the reader :)
