    Right Here.

    We're not giving them anything. We officially have no opinion about the legality of their claim, but if it tells you anything, I host pink fairies, home of the bounty hunt.

    Officially, we have no plans to enter into any business partnership with the SCO group.

    For the cost of a couple of hundred writable CD's and some time a lot of good could be done to a very good target audience.

    That would be AWESOME! Get a spindle of those little bitty CD's that hold like 175 MB's (the 3 inch ones like these) and just burn the linux kernel onto each one.

    Write on them, in sharpie, "SCO's business model is based on selling you this free software".

    Then hand them out at the show.

    Oh, it's brilliant! Also, put like an autorun.info or whatever makes things run in windows and have it pop up like a flash or html presentation of why we think SCO is full of shit.

    P.S. The SCO code bounty is up to $350 on pink fairies, and no one has claimed it as of yet. Not that I suspected that anyone would, but no one has come forth with code "from the inside" yet.

    Even better:

    "The name change to SCO from Caldera builds on a strong market position which we will extend as we reinvent the SCO brand," said Darl McBride, president and CEO, SCO. "For more than two decades, the SCO name has been synonymous with reliability, stability and cost efficiency. Now, the coexistence and collaboration of UNIX and Linux systems from a single source offers our customers and channel partners a powerful choice of solutions, backed by a name that powers millions of servers around the world - SCO."

    Really, if anybody wants to help in this hole issue just click the link and donate something.

    Well, first I RTFA, and then I poked around the web site because I have been looking for a way to donate to RH's OSS defense fund. Please provide the link that I'm obviously overlooking. In the meantime, I've donated a few bucks to the SCO bounty hunt. It looks like it will have the same effect.

    At any rate, "move away" in SCO's terms I think really means to move away from Linux entirely...

    Which is funny in light of this:

    Heh. My favorite Darl Mcbride quote.

    By the way, I found the quote when I was compiling the SCO news archive on PinkFairies.Org - We're calling shenanigans on SCO.

    Or, mabey we're all just pissed that they figured out step 2.
