I don't want to be in situation "SCO vs. IBM" one day
And we don't want to be in a "SCO vs. the world" situation one day. If someone puts forward a serious IP claim on Pike the most likely course of action is the univeristy kills Pike.

I don't want to be in situation "SCO vs. IBM" one day (regardless of who is right - it takes time, nerves and money), because of those legal issues. That's why I dislike the idea of giving away copyright.
If you feel that way you can't contribute to the FSF either.
This is the reason why I don't.
