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')."
We've got grounds for a huge lawsuit. It's obvious that in bad faith the University Professor is attempting to slashdot slashdot. He even included a direct link to our homepage. Untold damage!
Sue! Sue! Someone, call SCO!
I assert that my comment is only my opinion, not that of any employer, past, present or future.
It's also their greatest strength.
thank God the internet isn't a human right.

Now, if only we could breed, we would rule the world! Muh ha ha ha!

I have to say I'm gonna root for SCO on all of this from now on, I love cheering for an underdog
Slashdot, the site where everything's made up and the points don't matter
I thought I'd have to go without my coffee 'n SCO(ne) before starting the day..
"Irregardless"?
Slashdot refers to him, he refers to Slashdot. HELP!!! I'm stuck in a DOS loop!

Not that Linus', RMS, or ESR didn't have some good points on the technical side, but it is good to see a legal perspective of the case.
It's nice to see a legal perspective on the case, but what I want is to hear how a 7th grader feels about the case.
We've heard everyone elses opinion on it, Little Jimmy deserves to be heard.

Well, there went his credibility...
Sure, the federal government wouldn't let old Brigham retain governership of Utah when it became a state, but wouldn't it by nice if we could install the guy as head of SCO? Even as a man who's been dead for more than a century, he could probably run that ship better than its current leadership.
Not to be too critical, but did it seem that that "lawyer" basically just wrote a book report from previous slashdot stories? I'm NOT a lawyer, but could have come up with that.
And that's really all I'm saying. Thank you Anonymous Coward, you troll quite a bit, but you sometimes are right on the money.

Ok, this SCO business is seriously getting out of hand. Why do we need to hear commentary from everyone and their mother about this case.
What's the next article going to be? CowboyNeal's left nut gives it's opinion on the SCO/IBM battle.
he references Slashdot for more info ('itself a demonstration of the power of dispersed individuals working together').
I though slashdot was a 'demonstration of dispersed individuals procrastinating together'.
Who knew I was demonstrating power all this time?
This post cannot be rebroadcast without the express written constent of Major League Baseball.
1) Write an article how SCO is evil.
2) get it posted on slashdot.
3) get slashdotted, ad banners get zillions of hits
4) PROFIT!!!
Not every parody. Tom Lehrer did it right:
There's antimony arsenic aluminum selenium,
And hydrogen and oxygen and nitrogen and rhenium,
And nickel neodymium neptunium germanium,
And iron americium ruthenium uranium.
Europium zirconium lutetium vanadium,
And lanthanum and osmium and astatine and radium,
And gold protactinium and indium and gallium,
And iodine and thorium and thulium and thallium.
There's yttrium ytterbium actinium rubidium,
And boron gadolinium niobium iridium,
There's strontium and silicon and silver and samarium,
And bismuth bromine lithium beryllium and barium.
There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium,
And phosphorus and francium and fluorine and and terbium,
And manganese and mercury, molybdenum magnesium,
Dysprosium and scandium and cerium and cesium.
And lead praseodymium and platinum plutonium
Palladium promethium potassium polonium,
And tantalum technetium titanium tellurium,
And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.
There's sulfur, californium and fermium, berkelium,
And also mendelevium einsteinium nobelium,
And argon krypton neon radon xenon zinc and rhodium,
And chlorine carbon cobalt copper tungsten tin and sodium.
These are the only ones of which the news has come to Harvard,
And there may be many others but they haven't been discar-vard.
When you say GNU/Linux you mean GNU/XFree86/KDE/Apache/Bind/OpenGL/SDL/BSD/Posix/M ySQL/PHP/Python/Linux right ?

"This law professor from the University of California points out weakness in SCO's legal bluster, "..
Talk about shooting fish in a barrel..
We need a new campaign.
:)
How about "Hell no! I won't SCO!"
"In its complaint, SCO claims, in essence, that without its UNIX contracts, IBM was nothing, and without IBM, Linux was nothing. But both of these claims, like SCO's allegations, are dubious."
He worded that entirely too nicely.
