SCO Says Email Is Inaccurate

daria42 writes "The SCO Group has slammed as 'inaccurate' suggestions that an e-mail from one of its own engineers showed Linux did not contain copyright Unix code, and even forwarded its own historical memo to journalists in an attempt to discredit the e-mail published on Groklaw." From the article: "This memo shows that Mr. Davidson's e-mail is referring to an investigation limited to literal copying, which is not the standard for copyright violations, and which can be avoided by deliberate obfuscation, as the memo itself points out..." We reported on the email yesterday.

    Couldn't agree more. After all even our own president (Bush of USA) also "lies" even over things that are obvious - think the IRAQ war. The other boss of ENRON also lied...so did former president Clinton, Bill Gates. They all lie in this land of "freedom!"

    One other fine example of twisting the truth the way SCO like to do it is to point out that 'Karl Rove's lawyer accepted 45 gold bars worth $505,125 from a South American drug cartel.'

    Seems the guys in the last SCO article had a point. When the Bush administration leads by example with it's Neo-Morality business leaders follow.

    just tired of this. Is it possible to somehow shut SCO up for good? I think I express the feelings of most of the readers of this forum, when I say: Enough. I would like to see SCO disappear, gone from the face of the earth.
