SCO-ANZ is likely to be on the receiving end of legal action in Australia too. Leon Brooks of CyberKnights in Perth has taken the fight to them, threatening SCO-ANZ with fraud charges unless they publically retract their comments. More at the CyberNights web page about the letter and also at The Age Newspaper. It would appear that the date on Leon's letter is wrong as Saturday is the 14th, not 13th.

SCO update down under.. Posted Feb 18, 2004 20:09 UTC (Wed) by crouchet (guest, #1084) [Link] The root of this mess seems to be a belief on the part of SCO that they had nothing to lose so there was no reason not to persue a longshot. Nevermind the chaos and damage they caused for legitimate businesses.In that context I think it is important that the SCO officials face some sort of penalty for their actions. The demise of SCO is not sufficient here precisely because it was SCO's imminent demise that emboldened them to commit their fraud. There are some circumstances under which the officers, not just the company, can be subject to penalties for the company's actions. I think fraud can be one of those circumstances. I hope that will apply here, not because I dislike SCO or want revenge but because I would like to see a clear message sent that if company officials engage in illegal/actionable activity because they have "nothing left to lose" they will find themselves held personally accountable.
