LinuxTag To SCO: Detail Code Theft Or Retract Claims

RoLi writes "Heise has a story (The babelfish translation sounds like a speech from Yoda, but the important facts are translated correctly.) about LinuxTag taking legal action against SCO. SCO will either have to retract their claims, disclose their "proof" (if it exists) or be fined. That's certainly good news." Update: 05/26 17:25 GMT by T : Reader Fizz points to the more understandable LinuxTag press release (in English and German), and adds: "The notice, dated Friday, May 23, maintains that SCO Group is sowing uncertainty among the community of GNU/Linux users, developers and suppliers."

Re:What about these comments

Oh yes, Bush made a _huge_ tactical error calling for that Dixie Chicks boycott. In fact...hold on a minute...he never did such a thing!

Actually that is exactly what he did, only the media chose to only report part of what he said.

In an interview with NBC's Tom Brokaw, Bush said "The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind."

But, he added, that the Chicks "shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because some people don't want to buy their records when they speak out. You know, freedom is a two-way street."

Of course it is much easier to call people liars than to look up the quote on Google. Most of the mainstream media did not report the quote in full, not a great idea to publish stories that make Bush look a jerk when you want the FCC to allow you to create a monopoly - another story they have not been reporting on.
