It's 967AD and the restless SCO Villagers find a witch and are keen to
burn her!  A secret meeting with Microsoft takes place to see if they
can...

SCO:           SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! We've found SCO Code in
               Linux!
SCO LACKEY #1: We have found some SCO Code in Linux! May we burn it?
SCO:           Burn the users! Burn! Burn it! Burn its users!
MICROSOFT:     How do you know it is SCO Code?
SCO LACKEY #2: It looks like it.
SCO:           Right! Yeah! Yeah!
MICROSOFT:     Bring it forward.
GPL'd CODE:    I'm not SCO Code. I'm not!
MICROSOFT:     Uh, but you are dressed as such.
GPL'd CODE:    They dressed me up like this.
SCO:           Augh, we didn't! We didn't...
GPL'd CODE:    And these aren't my comments. They're false ones.
MICROSOFT:     Well?
SCO LACKEY #1: Well, we did do the comments.
MICROSOFT:     The comments?
SCO LACKEY #1: And the copyright lines, but it is SCO Code!
SCO LACKEY #2: Yeah!
SCO:           We burn it! Right! Yeaaah! Yeaah!
MICROSOFT:     Did you dress it up like this?
SCO:           No! No. No. No. No. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah, a bit. A
	       bit. It does look like UNIX though.
MICROSOFT:     What makes you think it is SCO Code?
SCO LACKEY #3: Well, it turned me into Windows!
MICROSOFT:     Windows?
SCO LACKEY #3: I got better.
SCO LACKEY #2: Burn it anyway!
SCO LACKEY #1: Burn!
SCO:           Burn it! Burn! Burn it!...
MICROSOFT:     Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling
               whether it is SCO Code.
SCO LACKEY #1: Are there?
SCO LACKEY #2: Ah?
SCO LACKEY #1: What are they?
SCO:           Tell us! Tell us!...
MICROSOFT:     Tell me. What do you do with SCO Code?
SCO:           Compile it! Compile it! Compile! Compile!...
MICROSOFT:     And what do you compile apart from SCO Code?
SCO LACKEY #1: More SCO Code!
SCO LACKEY #3: Shh!
SCO LACKEY #2: BSD Code!
MICROSOFT:     So, why does SCO Code compile?
               [pause]
SCO LACKEY #3: B--... 'cause its copied from... BSD?
MICROSOFT:     Good! Heh heh.
SCO:           Oh, yeah. Oh.
MICROSOFT:     So, how do we tell whether it is copied from BSD?
SCO LACKEY #1: See if it builds with gcc?
MICROSOFT:     Ah, but can you not also build Linux with gcc?
SCO LACKEY #1: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. True. Uhh...
MICROSOFT:     Does BSD come under the GPL license?
SCO LACKEY #1: No. No.
SCO LACKEY #2: No, its free! We can do what we want with it
               commercially!
MICROSOFT:     And what else are you free to use commercially?
SCO:           Bread! Apples! Uh, very small rocks! Cider! Uh, gra--
               gravy! Cherries! Mud! Uh, churches! Churches! Lead!
               Lead!
ARTHUR:        Your Own Code!
SCO:           Oooh.
MICROSOFT:     Exactly. So, logically...
SCO LACKEY #1: If... it... has... been released by us
               commerically,... it's made of SCO Code.
MICROSOFT:     Yes, and have you released it commercially?
SCO LACKEY #2: Yes! In our Linux Distribution!
SCO LACKEY #1: SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! Burn
               it! Burn the users!
