Where is the mainstream media?

Parent article: SCO offers UnixWare licenses for Linux

Can we at least get the mainstream media to at least say:

"Linux user do not owe SCO anything"

Would that be so much? Theoretically, the media is supposed to inform the public. I know, in practice, the pop-media is a just a shill for their advertisers.

Still doesn't the media have *some* obligation, *some* concern to alert the public to an absolute fraud?

As you probably already know, SCOX is claiming, that unless Linux users buy UnixWare SCO will sue the Linux users.

>>The company said it plans to offer UnixWare licenses tailored to support run-time, binary use of Linux for all commercial users of Linux based on the 2.4.x and later versions of the Linux kernel. SCO said any commercial Linux customers that purchase the license will be held harmless against past copyright violations and for any future use of Linux in a run-only, binary format<<

Of course, SCO can not enforce this. But, those who don't know better may be fooled SCOX's attempts at fraud and extortion.
