This guy seriously needs to get his ass beat. He is the bigest ass hole of last year, and will definitly be the biggest ass hole of this year.
How can someone take their company and start founding numerous legal battles over acquisations that you won't provide any evidence for? He's just trying to bring down the entire open source community just to make a profit for his sorry ass.
As if all the law suits weren't enough, he's now lobying congress to make them anti-open source. It's likely nothing will come of it, but who knows, congress loves money, and SCO loves dishing it out (even though it all comes from law suits because their crappy ass software isn't worth buying). Really they are more of a terrist organization or organized crime group rather than a company. They are trying to scare companies into paying them money without providing any proof saying why they need to.
The letter they are giving to congress (can be downloaded) goes on and on with a bunch of bull crap trying to feed them false info about things they (congress) don't necessarily know enough about to make valid decisions. They are saying open source software provides a threat to the economy because people aren't buying over priced crappy software. He says americans will lose jobs, and they are losing tax revenue over it. He also says it poses a threat to national security because terrorists can use it. Thus it should be outlawed. If companys are selling over priced crappy software that isn't as good as the free version then they shouldn't be in business anyway. Selling crap is no way to get ahead.
He must be ignoring the point that two of the largest companies in the USA (IBM and Sun) are both heavily involved with open source.
Fuck him... if he was run over by a bus tomorrow I really wouldn't miss him at all. Hell I'd take the driver out to dinner.
