> This paper is entitled Questioning SCO: A Hard Look at Nebulous Claims.
> It is designed to help readers understand the legal basis - or lack
> thereof - of SCO's action.  It also provides some questions they should
> ask themselves and their legal council regarding the legal exposure
> - or lack thereof -they face by continuing to use Linux.  We think
