United Linux Dead

DesScorp writes "ZDnet has a story about the impending demise of United Linux, with former general manager Paula Hunter stating that 'the legal entity still exists but I turned the lights out'. While a couple of reasons were given for UL's demise, most of the blame was firmly laid on the shoulders of SCO. As a member of group, their lawsuits killed off any real product development. SCO apparently refused to resign from UL, and Hunter said that 'As long as they remained a member, it remained impossible for us to begin new projects'. Which brings up the question, couldn't the other group members have kicked them out?"

This reminds me of that Simpson's episode:
Number One: We might as well face the truth: as long as we're Stonecutters, he will control our lives.
Moe: Maybe...but _maybe_ we don't want to be Stonecutters no more.

Can't they start a United No-SCOnix organization?
