Free Legal Counsel for Torvalds in SCO Suit

The Open Source development team which was subpeonead along with Linus, is paying for the Linux Creator legal fees...which is pretty cool, since ODSL is improving Linux and they have a pretty big resource in Linus - heh!

Basically, the lowdown is that IBM violated its Unix contract with SCO by donating stuff to the Linux kernel...Hooey (also imho), and Torvalds is filing a counter suit.
