SCO Fires back, Subpoenas Stallman, Torvalds et al

SirFozzie writes "SCO has just, within the past hour, announced that they have fired back against IBM's legal broadside, with one of their own, filing subpoenas against several of the biggest names in Linux. SCO filed subpoenas with the U.S. District Court in Utah, targeting six different individuals or organizations. Those include Novell; Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux kernel; Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation; Stewart Cohen, chief executive of the Open Source Development Labs; and John Horsley, general counsel of Transmeta."

I always love these articles, such depth, such information, such...nothing.

Which I think is an unintentional comment on /. given the previous comment about Stallman picking fleas from his beard.

Do I really need to write a comment?

You refered to him as unwashed. I presumed that you had met him and therefore was able to report that he was dirty and smelly. Apparently you were just smearing him when you said that he was unwashed.

I have seen pictures of him and he does have long hair and beard. Like I said that seems to piss off lots of people here on slashdot (including you apparently). I for one do not care that he has long hair and a beard.

Apparently you also object to the fact that he is not afraid to express his stongly held beliefs. Again that does not bother me. Cable TV is full of zealots who proclaim their strongly held beliefs every day. At least he is not on FOX News every night calling his enemies terrorists and traitors.
