My complaint:
Re: "Linux cyber-battle turns nasty"
This article is exceptionally irresponsible in almost every respect, not to mention laughable in its implicit support for SCO's current Linux IP lawsuits, which are widely seen in the industry as a joke.
I certainly condone neither the nature nor the specific case of the 'MyDoom' attack - it is completely unacceptable. The huge majority of Linux developers would, I am certain, feel the same way.
There is in fact no need for Linux "devotees" to launch a virus-based attack against SCO; in open court, Linux would easily defend the current IP claims brought by SCO, which explains the delay and dithering on the part of SCO in presenting evidence to support their case.
The author even admits "...There's no proof, of course...", so what basis is there for this story at all? Rumour? FUD? It seems remarkably familiar somehow...
Phrases like "It's hard to see how any website could withstand that kind of clever evil", casting the issue in quasi-religious terminology, further undermine the credibility of the author.
