I'm greatly offended by this for a second time

First SCO called Linux developers incompetent and painted an entirely
unrealistic picture of the importance and abilities of SCO's software. Now
they are calling the Linux developers untrustworthy.

If the evidence is so strong, how could revealing it before the trial hurt
SCO? There is no way to tamper with history when it is splattered across
so much of the Internet. Do they expect us to somehow magically change the
documents in their possession and on everyone's hard drives?

Why doesn't SCO at least tell us which program or library they are talking
about? Their claims get less and less credible the longer they drag this
out. Maybe they are hoping their stock will continue to rise based on this
speculation. I'd really like to know. From reading the initial claims,
you would think they were talking about the kernel proper but apparently
that is not the case.
