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.

    What would slashdot do if SCO would shop sueing people? Slashdot could be in trouble, after all it would loose half of its daily articles.

    I vandalise buildings for fun.

    Oh wait, you mean what I do for fun has to be legal?

    Isn't that exactly what's in question right now?
