oldstrat's Journal: SCO aka SCumOs

Darl McBride, CEO of SCO Group had this exchange with BusinessWeek Online Technology editor Alex Salkever.

Q: What does this mean for the future of SCO and its involvement in the Linux community?
A: We would be happy to sit down and get a resolution on this so we can all live together peacefully. But when we file a legal claim and then someone does a denial-of-service attack on our Web site to try to shut us down, it creates concerns for us as to how can you work with this community.

Apparently this moron dosn't know the difference between the Linux Community and a bunch of script kiddies. In fact, I'm willing to bet he does, but simply never had any intent of working with the community, and this is his version of an excuse.

As Bruce Perens has intimated on a recent interview on Tech TV's 'The Screen Savers', there is every chance that SCO itself inserted this code into the Linux Community, and distributed it in it's own Distro (oddly pulled shortly after starting this mess). Even if they did not insert it, there's every chance they redistributed it under the GPL.

SCO, show us the code.
Then complete your spiral into irrelevance and go out of business.
