Shari Steele's out of her office until Wednesday, it seems. I'll try to get to other EFF folks.

It makes sense for EFF to do a campaign, but only a campaign that isn't trivially easy for SCO to brush off. This one is.

First, they should be complaining that SCO is asking Linux customers for money with a threat that they might sue. Complaining about SCO's "decision to sue" is hogwash because we have no way to prove what they have decided. SCO's messages to the press are too ambiguous to use as evidence of what they've decided.
