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."

    it's sooo fancy this days to claim SCO are bad ... i mean how else you could make hordes of /.ters fall in love with you?

    btw, i heard the biggest "walrus hunters association" also found SCO to be really bad ... i wonder why /. is not mentioning them!?
