It seems like these gentlemen who dedicated their talents to public benefit may need some public help to cover their legal expenses. If there is a fund raising effort, please post the information. I would like to contribute.

That's a funny question. Neither men provide any way to financially assist them. Stallman will have Eben Moglen assisting him, but both Stallman and Moglen are unpaid volunteers. Not sure how to help Linus, although I reckon he has a pretty fat salary.

I reckon Stallman would ask people to donate money to FSF (donate.fsf.org). i.e. help the cause that this legal time-waster will take him away from.

But dosent Linus go to court in the quality of a expert withness ?

He does not stand accused of anything, does he ?

One time more SCO is trying to gain PR dividends for their masters FUDs, something long time ago devised by their vocal twisted leadership. But this gun is going to shoot backwards, since i belive its almost impossible that Linus or Stallman are going to confess something they haven't done, only to please SCO... and at the end of the day no FUD will be able to say about Linux/FLOSS leaders, that they are convicted criminals, like a corporation that we all very well known.
