Well of course I was being somewhat dramatic in my response (mostly for fun) 
but really this has
little to do with the DCMA, SCO or RIAA. When someone goes to the trouble
to stick a copyright statement on their code (even though not required in 
US) I would never presume
that it can be usedfor anything "real". The code is copyrighted plain and 
simple. No need to look to
blame SCO, DCMA, the Patriot Act or any other political hot topic to find a 
potential problem.
