FSF Subpoenaed by SCO

An anonymous reader writes "Bradley M. Kuhn on the FSF website: Late last year, we were subpoenaed by SCO as part of the ongoing dispute between SCO and IBM. Today, we made that subpoena available on our website. This is a broad subpoena that effectively asks for every single document about the GPL and enforcement of the GPL since 1999. They also demand every document and email that we have exchanged with Linus Torvalds, IBM, and other players in the community. In many cases, they are asking for information that is confidential communication between us and our lawyers, or between us and our contributors."

SCO seems to be getting desperate and going after any thing and any one who may (or may not) have had any thing to do with Unix. I just keep wondering how long before they finally run out of gas. Give me a break -- FSF -- yeah right. Their stocks sure have fallen lately -- at least there's something good in that!
