[clug] SCO ordered to show Linux 'infringement'

[Telek, John]

Could it be concievable that SCO/M$ are using this time to incorporate
linux code into the SCO src so that they can get rid of Linux ????????

Bloody oath.

What amazes me is that a organisation can go around making
unsubstantiated claims for *9 months*. That's forever in the business
world. They should be made to put up or shut up before they can file a
case in the first place. Talk about character assassination. What if
this happens a few times over with a few different sacrificial
organisations vs Linux? Big business could start avoiding it like the
plague purely because it's always entangled in vexatious lawsuits.
