-We have been urged to drop support for SCO Unix from this release of
-GCC, as a protest against this irresponsible aggression against free
-software and GNU/Linux. However, the direct effect of this action
-would fall on users of GCC rather than on SCO. For the moment, we
-have decided not to take that action. The Free Software Foundation's
-overriding goal is to protect the freedom of the free software
-community, including developers and users, but we also want to serve
-users. Protecting the community from an attack sometimes requires
-steps that will inconvenience some in the community. Such a step is
-not yet necessary, in our view, but we cannot indefinitely continue to
-ignore the aggression against our community taken by a party that has
-long profited from the commercial distribution of our programs. We
-urge users of SCO Unix to make clear to SCO their disapproval of the
-company's aggression against the free software community. We will
-have a further announcement concerning continuing support of SCO Unix
-by GCC before our next release.
