Economist.com has published a lightweight overview of the SCO fight. They compare it to the Scopes Monkey Trail of 1925, with SCO the part of the fundamentalist – “buttoned-down types clinging to proprietary and closed computer systems.”
For more information on the SCO issue I suggest reading Halloween IX, Opensource.org’s summary/response. Granted it is from the open source side of the fight, but in the tradition of open source, they make strong arguements for their position and provide generous links to independent sources of information to back up their arguments.
