SCO Says They'll Sue A Linux User Tomorrow

Xenographic writes "InfoWorld is reporting that SCO intends to sue a Linux using company. Ordinarily, this would not be newsworthy, as they have not followed through on past threats. However, this time, they have given themselves a concrete deadline--tomorrow. While they claim that it will be one of the "top 1,000" companies, they apparently have yet to decide which company to actually sue. Perhaps they need more practice playing darts?"

    And in other news, the Miami Dolphins actually won a superbowl!

    I think you're about 22 years too late (SuperBowl VI - 1972).

    Are you saying that the Democrats, as a party, support Free Software? I should think that most campaign or political web sites end up on GNU/Linux or BSD because that's what many of the larger hosting companies use, not because of any well-thought out plan by the candidates. While lots of people know what Linux is (i.e. some alternative to MS Windows), almost no one who isn't a geek knows or understands what Free Software is at all.

    As far as I can tell the major parties are about equal on intellectual property issues. For every Orrin Hatch there's a Fritz Hollings. The Republicans even have Norm Coleman asking questions about the RIAA's subpoena frenzy. I don't see any Democrats rushing to do anything at all. Look at Eldred v. Ashcroft and tell me if the Democratic appointees were any help in a landmark case on copyright. Well?
