SCO.com Defaced

A whole slew of readers wrote:"According to an Image on the SCO website they own all our code and we shall pay them all our money. (found at Heise online (german IT news). " Yes, I'm sure this will help the whole legal case; defacement has always been such a valued piece of input in court *cough*.

      Defacing SCO's site doesn't do any damage to SCO, in fact the opposite because they can now cast "The Linux" community in a negative light.

      It obviously was not a member of the Linux community, a fact which can be easily proven. The defaced image contains absolutely zero typos. Clearly, it was an inside job.

      I think Sco did it themselves just like the rigged the elections for Bush and are hidding that UFO they found from us. I mean think about it grep, sed, yacc, these have got to be from another planet.
      Yea it was totaly freanking usless and was actually hurtful to Linux to do anything to SCOs website.

    Hopefully they wont be as slow when they start doing the linux support we pay them for

    When they start? I'm already getting the full service.

    As a completely unbiased and disinterested observer, I bought a SCO license to see what the fuss was about. Since then NOBODY has sued me for anything, least of all for violating any code SCO might possibly have in the Linux kernel (including any Linux kernels in alternate universes). You can't argue with service like that. I'd recommend it to anyone.
