OSDL Position Paper on SCO and Linux
cshabazian writes "The OSDL has released a position paper raising serious questions about SCO Group's threatened litigation against end users of Linux. The position paper, which casts doubt on SCO's position, was authored by one of the world's leading legal experts on copyright law as applied to software, Professor Eben Moglen of Columbia University."
Since when has SCO demonstrated ANY interest in the truth ? This is just more fodder for the SCO FUD machine.
The best thing we could all do is ingnore SCO and boycot them into oblivion and discuss the matter no further than we absolutly need to. While this document may be interesting, it's nothing extraordinary in that we have not already read it all before.
SCO has embarked on a truly extraordinary path of self destruction and they will get their wish. Let us not be the ones to prolong their demise.

If the New York Times got sued for plagarism and lost, would that make it's readers liable? Of course not. This is really no different.
That's because analogies are retarded and unneccessary. If you actually had a valid argument, you wouldn't need to use an analogy.
Notice how the RIAA doesn't go after people who download sogns via P2P? They go after the people who share the songs.
Notice how the BSA goes after people who use software?
Oops. Looks like you lost.

As an antidote to regular TV news, try BBC world or Google news. As an antidote to Slashdot? I dunno, else I'd not be here.
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
