Uhm, FreeBSD does have a unified API. As there is only one FreeBSD, there can only be one API (well, they can include multiple, and you have your choice, but they will always be there). OSS isn't even a part of Linux. That's a part of Enlightenment. And there is no video display code in either FreeBSD's or Linux's kernel. You don't actually know what you are talking about, do you?
This isn't exactly news. This was done at least ten years ago. Darth Vader is a standard depiciton of evil. There is also a grotesque of Adolf Hitler on one of the towers at the National Cathedral (I live about a mile away from it...)
I am not going to bother refuting each sentence in here, but except for the part where the parent claims not to be a lawyer, everything in the parent is wrong.
They are not targeting the Open Source community. They are targeting the Linux community. The BSD-family of operating systems (and its zillion derivatives) are completely protected from SCO by the 1994 (check the year) judgement in the Regents/USL suit.
Except, in order to meet the requirements of the Open Source Definition, the license cannot be biased against certain "fields of endeavor." Therefore, if the license prohibited use in war, terrorism, or midget tossing, it would not be open source.
Microsoft cannot sell a Unix varient without violating the terms of their contract with SCO concerning Xenix. And I pray if they did go Unix, they'd pick a Unix like BSD. Linux is just as bad as Windows and often worse.
Except Chinet went Unix after M-Net went up. NATCH!

Don't file a suit.
Turn it over to a collection agency, then report them to Standard & Poor's and Moody's. It is next to no work, and it will be a significant black mark against them for a long time.
Just how big does a piece of spave junk have to be before it becomes a moon? I mean, surely my collection of neat quartz crystals wouldn't count because they are all about the size of a quarter.

Responding to the original, Unisys is now one of the biggest IT contracting companies in the world. Think before you speak.
Not at all. This is one of its greatest strenghts as the President can use it to right any wrong.

Like Reagan was impeached for the Iran-Contra scandal?
This you might be granted, but he would have never been convicted at trial. The evidence of his involvement was far too weak.
Like Bush was impeached for stealing the election?
I'd like some evidence of this.
Like Ford was impeached for pardoning Nixon?
The President is Constitutionally granted an explict right to grant pardons without check.

FYI,
SCO hasn't read the terms of their own settlement. Systems derived from 4.4BSD-Lite and Lite2 are unencumbered.
Enjoy,
As of today, SCO's market cap was 37.1M USD. On 28 February, Red Hat's cash and cash equivalents was 55.4M USD. Therefore, yes.

Run NetBSD if you want binary compatability.

Really. Especially since Paul Vixie runs Root Server F. That will always be BIND.

Most BIOS systems anymore allow you to disable the mouse and keyboard checks.
As a Silver Spring resident, I feel your pain.
Uhm, the BSDs have been there for ten years. Where have you been?
There is a version of vi that has a clippy clone.

In America, we have two liberal parties.
Really? Why?
Copytheft is a way of life to Slashdolts. Don't bring it up, or you will be modded down.
More importantly, what is a non-accredited institution doing with a .edu? (Sure, there are others, and they can be looked at on a case-by-case basis.)
You're obviously still a high school student. College history is not taught that way.
