SCO Might Sue Linus for Patent Infringement?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the does-it-bother-you-when-I-poke-you-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes "[Darl McBride, SCO's chief executive stated] that unless more companies start licensing SCO's property, he may also sue Linus Torvalds, who is credited with inventing the Linux operating system, for patent infringement." It's right at the end of the story and it's quite a statement.

    Emperor penguins (for example) have a maximum land speed of 1.7 mph as they waddle along. Underwater they have an admittedly impressive (for the amphibious) and graceful max speed of 15 mph. I never did understand that quote. Perhaps the only time Linus has actually seen a penguin it had just been shot out of a cannon? Maybe it was strapped to the roof of a Mustang... Or could it have jumped off a 20 story building, forgetting for a moment that its wings are useless for aviation?
