I don't think Eric's letter was a good idea. Can you imagine the headlines that SCO and other Open Source opponents can make out of this?
There was no need to establish in public a connection between our community and the DOS attack.

Eric, please think twice before speaking for us (or ask somebody for advice before doing it)

Sorry, but the link between the DOS attack and the Linux community would have
been made anyway.
So it is important to emphasize, that such actions are not condoned by the
community.

Silence is golden... facts speak for themselves. Eric doesn't speak for "the community".

Eric is however a part of "the community" that often speaks.

With friends like this, who needs enemies!

I trust Eric will do the right thing and co-operate with the authorities in telling them everything he knows about this "associate" of the attacker.
