Law Professor Examines SCO Case
An anonymous submitter writes "This law professor from the University of California points out weakness in SCO's legal bluster, and further takes a poke at closed software, for those hungry for more SCO scraps. At the end, he references Slashdot for more info ('itself a demonstration of the power of dispersed individuals working together')."
They're liars.
You can replace #1 with "Write an article that mentions slashdot."
If I had something intelligent to say, I would have said it.
If I could spell more than 15 words in the english language correctly, I'd create an article and submit it....It's like watching the Iraqi Information Minister.
Hmm, GW Bush appears to be lurking again.

Just like people paying top dollar for Tommy Hillfucker T-shirts that cost a few cents at most to make? I guess it's not about who you know, but who you blow these days?

You are supporting plaguarism. That is, taking credit for what is NOT YOUR OWN WORK. You lose all credability in the future, because you are too much of a fucktard to understand the most basic of intellectual curtousies -- giving credit where credit is due.
The Linux kernel is great. It, however, would be useless without GNU utilities and software, as well as other FS and OSS utilities and software.
What I am taking serious issue here with is the fact that this ignoramus (the guy who wrote the Law.com article) is claiming that Linus created the ENTIRE GNU/Linux Operating System by himself. That is simply false. Linus created the kernel, not the entire OS. The entire OS is the culmination of the hard work of thousands of developers.
I am sure that Linus damn well would be pissed off if someone claimed that RM Stallman created the Linux kernel. And rightfully so. It is also rightfully so that people be pissed off that this lawyer is claiming Linus created the entire GNU/Linux OS. That is disrespectful to everyone who has worked hard and contributed to the GNU/Linux OS'.
Regarding GNU/Linux, my point there was that by calling the entire OS Linux, when it is more proper to just call the kernel Linux, you create confusion. The kind of confusion that allows SCO to say "we're suing IBM for contributing to Linux" meaning the kernel, but not specifying so, and leading millions to believe that the all of the code in the entire set of GNU/Linux OS' would be tainted by this lawsuit if SCO won, when in fact, only some tiny insignificant portion of the Linux kernel would be tained.
So, how about you fuck off and go back to high-school? Obviously, you need to be disciplined a few more times for plaguarism. Just because you are too fucking lazy to give credit where credit is due in references does not make it ok.
