SCO Fined in Munich For Linux Claims
nordi writes "heise.de reports (in German) that SCO Germany has to pay a fine of 10,000 Euros (~10,800 US$) because they kept on saying that Linux contains stolen intellectual property of SCO. In May a German court had decided that SCO Germany must not continue making those claims." Yes, it's auf Deutsch, so break out babelfish.
Here is the babelfish translation for the lazy one.

Indeed it doesn't seem like a lot of money. Now if they make 10,000 for each day of SCO's idiocy and lies, we will be talking real money.
I hope this is the first of many fines for these scumbags.

So, not only am I being extorted, but I'm agreeing to be extorted at a future date as well! I think that Darl's SCO gig is going to end Real Soon Now. If these functions were implemented in Perl, they would be guaranteed to look different than the System V! Get a life, asshole. Shooting babies is funny.

If their claims don't concur with reality, they could hardly present proof. So i don't quite see your point.
