NRF Calls SCO's Claims 'Meritless'

Xenographic writes "The National Retail Federation has just put out a press release in which their CIO concludes that SCO's IP claims are "meritless," and that Novell is the last company which can show a clear title to the code in question. That SCO's claims are meritless is hardly news to anyone who has been following this, but what is interesting is that the NRF was prompted to release this because of legal threats to their membership, specifically SCO's threats to sue "major retailers." So the businesses being menaced by SCO are banding together, making it that much less likely that SCO will be able to generate easy money from mere threats of litigation. SCO's stock, meanwhile, appears to have taken a small dive from this news. Also, you can find further details and analysis on Groklaw."

So, who's the National Retail Foundation and why does their opinion matter?

Just curious.

Voice of retail worldwide?

Please someone explain to me this part of their website?

NATIONAL RETAIL FEDERATION
THE VOICE OF RETAIL WORLDWIDE

Shouldn't that be The Voice of Retail Nationwide?
Maybe The Voice of American Retail Worldwide?

While I am pleased that they agree that SCO is full of monkey muffins I would be more pleased if their Motto/Slogan was logical.

Spelling lesson...

You can't spell "fiasco" without "SCO"
