[luau] FUD packers

[Jaymes Schooler]

Obviously they don't have a clue...Linus' first version of Linux was based
on a UNIX kernel that was already public domain.  If any one is at fault its
SCO for having ridiculously high prices for their licensing in the first
place.

   The SCO Group, which owns key components of the Unix operating system,
has sent letters to Linux customers claiming the software is an
"unauthorized derivative" of its property.
  The letters, which were sent earlier this week to companies around the
world, warned that commercial users of Linux may face legal liability for
using the operating system without a license from SCO.
