I don't think any of the other developers have gone as far as
questioned the legality of the GPL -- even claiming it to be
non-constitutional.

I agree that M$ is trying its best to bad-mouth the free and open
software movements.  However, (except for the recent "dontation" to
SCO) I don't think they have gone as far as SCO.

I agree, it is a concern that my proposed move isn't friendly to SCO
users, nor does it promote the use of free software on SCO platforms.

The reason for my question is that there have been recent bug reports
(admittedly with fixes) for SCO-specific problems.

Personally, I don't want to spend any time on fixing such problems,
but others may feel differently.
