Nixing SCO support in GCC

Slashdot has a quip about how the FSF is encouraging the GCC developers to remove SCO support from the GCC compiler.

What a great idea! This will make it tons harder for people to use SCO products, and it will force SCO to patch/maintain GCC's SCO support themselves. However, it's widely rumored that the whole SCO case is just a ruse to discredit Linux before SCO folds. Without the multi million dollar license cash from M$, SCO would've already folded. The sole reason why SCO is still around is this stupid lawsuit.

In other words, this GCC trick is not really going to have much effect. But its cool tactic, I gotta give the FSF credit for that.
