The court case that led up to this article (SCO v IBM) is about FILCHING other people's code and using the GPL "poison pill" provision to justify the theft.

You seem to assume that SCO has an actual case. It doesn't, or it would have revealed the offending code by now. It's nothing but a pump-n-dump operation run by bullying suits. The geek community, commies and libertarians alike, will take great pleasure in busting up this scam.

I would like to remind you that the VAST MAJORITY of the code involved is still under a STRICT NDA. SCO might just be giving you guys a false sense of security by releasing code that even they know they are probably going to lose on while keeping their REAL CASE secret in return for all the "pump 'n' dump" accusations and DDoS attacks.
My information relating to Microsoft stock fraud and "pump 'n' dumping" at least in their recent past comes from a REAL financial cunsultant's web site with no axes to gring against M$

www.billparish.com

as well as Yahoo Finance. I don't see ANY financial consultants saying that SCO is involved in similar operations. I only hear this on Linux shill and hacker sites like NewsForge and Slashfilth.

Funny, but we hear the same words -- from nearly all Linux dorks -- over and over again. Where do you get your talking points? Slashdot? LinuxToday? RedHat? IBM? Sheesh. It's getting a little stale.
