Did SCO Get Linux-mob Justice?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the look-everyone-kick-this-horse-corpse dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to Fortune's legal blogger Roger Parloff, "once in awhile a judicial ruling comes down that's so wrong at such a basic level that you're just left scratching your head". He claims that Judge Kimball's "102-page ruling (about SCO) was greeted with widespread rejoicing and I-told-you-so's", but "the problem is not that Judge Kimball's view of the facts is wrong". Was the ruling unfair?"

    SCO (and Darl in particular) didn't get enough mob justice. I'm thinking keelhauling is about right.

    If all businesses followed the "No Asshole Rule" there would be nobody left to run Comcast, AT&T, Vivendi, News Corporation, Universal, BMG, Time-Warner, ExxonMobil, Halliburton, Microsoft, Paramount, Exelon... I could go on but I'm sure you get the idea.

    You seem to imply that would be a bad thing.
