Time for Linus to act?

I understand when scum like SCO go after deep pockets of IBM. Dragging Linus into the whole thing is a true low point, even for them. Let's hope Linus brings a copyright infringement suit against SCO soon. They have to be pulled back in line for this shameless act.

Time for Linus to act?

Linus most probably will never sue anyone anywhere. He was not born in the US, it's not his way of doing things.

IBM otoh could score some community points here by paying for the attorneys fees for these innocent civilians that SCO is trying to drag into their already nasty fight. After all, they have already gotten help from the community in analyzing SCO PowerPoint slides (and breaking their innovative symbol-font-encryption ;-).
