Well, dont burn'em dont forgive'em...

I really couldn't care less any way!

Who or what the hell is SCO, any way ??!!

It was a former software company called Caldera, and now its a fraud and a scam that has very little to do with software and nothing to do with Linux/FLOSS. It was transformed by the Ma$ters, the real enemys of Linux/FLOSS, to be used as a weapon and a distration against the world Free Software community. They entered with a real bang, and where "crack" amusing as a distraction, but now is more than obvious they are going away with a "puf" of smoke. They are starting to get dead boring every day that pass...

WHY NOT JUST FORGET'EM ??!

Because then some other schmuck company will attempt a similar extortion scam. SCO has to be burned and the whole world has to see it and remember it.

This happened before when Della Croche tried to trademark Linux surrepticiously, probably with the notion that he could somehow "buy" it at some point. If the Free Software community had not put that to rights, there could have ben any number of problems. In that case, there were threats of criminal prosecution against Della Croche at the end.

My hope is that there will be *real* criminal prosecution against the people who have used SCO as a stock springboard and been so abusive toward Linux users and companies.

Well, if that can increase the number of paying subscribers
