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."
Steel cage death match!!!
That is all.
It's only libel if it isn't true, and it can only be defamation of character if you have a character to defame. ;)
Here in the States, we have a law that famous people can be mocked and pilloried ad nauseum, and there's fuck all they can do about it. I'm surprised the UK doesn't have something similar (though to be true, this isn't about a satirical newstory, so doesn't quite fall under that catagory).
God invented whiskey so the Irish would not rule the world.
By the time this is all over... I suspect that only me and my dog will not have been subpoenad. At least this county-clerk-job-creation program should help the economy.
