SCO Threatens Red Hat and SuSE

Guy Smith writes "CRN reports that SCO will target SuSE and Red Hat with lawsuits after they are finished with IBM (providing that IBM allows them live). To quote Sco, "There will be a day of reckoning for Red Hat and SuSE when this is done." They seem bent on destroying the Open Source community and they deserve to hear the community's opinion on the matter."

Down with SCO, can Robin Hood come out and play?

Yeah, send them a piece of my mind. Well if they piss of enough of us, then they might just find out that we are a bunch of merry men just willing to get back, just like in Robin Hood!

First off, I did.

Secondly, this is the sort of mindless, nit-witted, "well Slashdot's jumpin' offa da cliff, so I guess I a-oughta too" response. RTFA. Read my ass. The word "Microsoft" appears ONCE in the article. Okay? ONCE.

The interview did mention how SCO would like to pin SUSE and Red Hat, though. Does THAT get top moderation on Slasdot? Nooooooo. Because someone said MICROSOFT! MICROSOFT? MICROSOFT! AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! MICROSOFT! MICROSOFT! AAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!

CAST
Joe, an average Joe.
Dweedlemeyer, an average Slashdot reader.

(Joe enters, carrying a copy of Wired magazine. Dweedlemeyer is sitting at his computer.)

JOE: Hey Dweedlemeyer, how's it going?

(spoken with severe, nasal tone)
DWDLMYR: Why, I'm well, thank you, Joseph. Hey what have you there?

JOE: Oh, it's the latest issue of Wired.

(Joe loses his grip on the magazine for a moment as he stops to get a Coke out of the fridge. An ad insert falls gently out of the mag, towards Dweedlemeyer.)

JOE (cont.): Oh, dang it, there's a bunch of Microsoft inserts in Wired this month.

DWDLMYR: MICROSOFT! MICROSOFT??? MICROSOFT! AAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! MICROSOFT IS SABOTAGING PUBLISHING! MICROSOFT IF SABOTAGING PUBLISHING!!! AAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!
