An article on trademarks and Open Source:

Unlike a trademark, a moral right won't lapse if you don't defend it AFAIK. Hmmm. Wonder if SCO could claim that Linux has infringed their rights of paternity and integrity? (Oh wait, they'd need to hold the rights to the original UNIX code in order to claim that ;-) ).

Hmm. Program listings are a form of writing (certainly under European law). Does that mean someone can object to how I edit their code in a GPL'ed work?
