SCO Targets US Government, TiVo

Posted by simoniker on from the latest-salvo-in-demented-cabaret dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to SCO, if you have a TiVo set-top box, or those models of Sharp Zaurus which use Linux, someone now owes them $32, since the company wants money 'for each embedded system using Linux.' SCO also says government agencies must pay up to $699 for each copy of Linux that they use."

    that these idiots havent gotten assfucked by the us govt yet, they are really fucking with people now.. I have come to these conclusions: 1. Sco's president, upset over not being able to get bought, lost his mind. 2. They're trying to prove themselves as a force to be reckoned with 3. trying to impress hotbabygirl20192 on yahoo 4. trying to get jailed and prison-fucked. 5. Destroy linux 6. A stupid attempt to force all *nix users to sco shit. 7. Bill gate's tiny fake dick in their assholes. 8. They are stupid. 9. testing the legal system. 10. all of the above. or some of the above. 1 and 5 seems to be the most logical. but who knows?
