SCO Protest And Anti-Protest In Provo

Posted by timothy on from the please-stop-beating-my-wife dept.

a.ameri writes "On Friday, June 20, the Provo Linux Users Group decided to head on over to SCO's offices and hold a protest; information on the event, including pictures and press coverage, can be found on the PLUG page. Among other things, the protesters claim that SCO employes came out and joined the event holding pre-prepared signs saying things like 'I love software piracy' and 'Try communism - use Linux.'" There are some funny shots linked here (thanks to reader lucif latum). Daddio64 points to the press covereage in the Deseret News and Provo Daily Herald.

    SCO = Iraq, Microsoft = France, IBM = US. I hope the sign also mentioned Freedom Windows (KDE). Huh? Are you saying that's not what they meant?

    is singled out for derision concerning its opposition to forceful disarmament of Saddam's regime (something that it agreed to in U.N. resolution 1441, btw):
    The Paris-based daily (Le Monde) reported that a third of French people want Saddam Hussein to win the war, while another third do not feel they are on the same side as Britain and America. Overall disapproval for the war is at 78% ...
