| The SCO Group is preparing a new Linux licensing program that it claims will allow users of the open-source operating system to run Linux without fear of litigation.
That claim is being litigated. For them to solicit money on the basis of that claim, using "more litigation" as a threat, is extortion. And for Boies & Co., it's Barratry. Let SCO prove its claim that linux contains its property. Then they can ask money for the use of what is rightfully theirs. For now, this is a circus act with the clowns using the court system as a toy. And now they are using their toy to extort money from people. Enough! |
It is time for the courts to move on this nonsense. It's been great fun for the trade journalists, but here we see them selling protection against unproven claims. This is outrageous. It is like a guy waving a gun the street, demanding money from people. This "gun" does not exist, except for the fact that the court has not yet ruled on the validity of SCO's claim that linux contains its property.
