SCO Group Lawsuit Q&A
althalus writes "PLUG, the Provo Linux Users Group, of Utah recently requested representatives from SCO to answer the questions of the local *nix users regarding their lawsuit. Since this topic has been the point of a bit of discussion here on slashdot (
1,
2,
3,
4) We figured it might be nice to get some of the questions from here. SCO has agreed to allow us to submit a list of questions ahead of time, and we will contain some of the highest moderated slashdot questions. SCO has warned us, that since this is an active lawsuit, there are some questions that obviously cannot be answered at this time, but overall, feel free to ask. Notes/Answers will be submitted to slashdot afterwards." Think of this as a third party Ask SCO almost anything.
(a) Try to Kill Linux
(b) Get bought by IBM
(c) Simply go out of business
(d) Beat Microsoft in the "most hated company of all time poll on CNN"
Admit it Bruce--you're a fanatical fr1st p05t AC troll!! You've been reloading Slashdot obsessively all day!
I run the Bay-area Unix Testing Tribe [BUTT].
Our organization proposes an alliance for this lawsuit. We have already opened defense fund. the BUTT-PLUG alliance should have no problem getting out of this sticky situation.

and who's your dealer so we can buy some too?
SCO --- what is it that you do again?

Making major cash
What is there to lose?
Oh what fun it is to sue IBM tonight!
Was this lawsuit more of a 6 pack idea or a 12 pack idea? And what are you going to do when you wake up next to the girl that IBM sent over but you have no idea what her name is?
For the sake of consistency we could ask SCO the same question that Kenneth Lay was asked by an enron employee:
"I would like to know if you are on crack. If so, that would explain a lot."
It fits so nicely.....

Do your glass bellybuttons help you see well enough with your heads so far up your asses?
roll over and die after they lose this lawsuit?
I was just wondering, did you guys wake up one morning and just decide to be evil? Or did you have to work at it for a while? Or did it just happen by accident?
I was going to start my own Evil Corporation(TM) and I was trying to gauge the level of effort required. Also, you didn't happen to aquire the IP rights on Evil(TM) as well, did you? If so, what are your licencing fees for that one? I don't want to get sued over here.
I wish there was some there was some way that I could be outside playing basketball, in the rain, and not get wet.
Have you guys considered approaching the RIAA with a view to offering your operating system as a platform for their website? Maybe they could provide a stream of revenue from their evil paymasters if you could manage to keep them online for more than 3 days at a stretch!
Code, Hardware, stuff like that.
Here is my question for SCO:
Do you blame Bond for the failure of Plan Omega,
or was it due to a break-down in organisational
process?
Wait a minute, I'm thinking of SPECTRE, not SCO
... sorry.

Only fair -- they've already got the other end.
If we all boycotted SCO
Oh, wait...

This question is addressed to CEO Darl McBride and SCOSource VP Chris Sontag, although it applies to the whole management team. What are your plans after the death of SCO? Won't you constitute a liability to any company you work for in the future, due to the association of your names with this lawsuit?
If you manage to get a ruling that seriously harms Linux, it will negatively impact tens of thousands of people worldwide. What effect do you think this will have on your personal life, and how will you cope with it?
SCO stands fro...

Don't Tread on OpenSource
