I have held that company in contempt since long before anybody
had ever heard of Linux (including Linus, who was probably still
wearing baby clothes).  But it's true that their latest pathetic
floundering is probably as low as they have sunk in their long
but completely inglorious history.  Time for them to die, and
the sooner the better.

In truth, I think it's a much sadder day for SCO than it is for
Linux and I hope that people will just ignore SCO and get on
with their lives, businesses, etc.  It's not that long ago that
some other idiots tried to crucify the BSD people over imagined
infractions of their rights -- the complainants got nothing of
any value from that and paid heavily for the privilege.  SCO
would have done well to look at history before beginning this
stoush -- they're smoking too much crack if they have convinced
themselves they can win this.
