Parent article: SCO and Public Perception

For quite some time now, the SCO Group has been very well treated by the media. Many of its claims have gone unchallenged, and even the company's goofiest statements get wide coverage.

A few weeks ago I sent an email to the author of an article that was using the phrases "SCO's Unix copyrights" and "SCO's Unix code" as if they were fact. I pointed out that the word "alleged" would be appropriate. I got a friendly response with thanks for my "good point" and also appreciation for my non-ranting approach (hint, hint).

Take 30 seconds to write a short, calm email to the article author(s). Sometimes it works. It will work better if they hear from lots of people.
