primarily about Debian's philosophy, not about certspotter (but I do talk about
that at the end as well). For this reason, I'm not CC'ing the bug.

What is your stand on the sco suit? Do
they really have copyright's?
If they do, would it be that difficult to
rewrite opensystem code to make it remain open?
