SCO are truly enemies of free software and are attempting to position linux
users with criminals. What has amazed me is how scheming and diabolical they
are. It seems that they involved themselves with Linux for the sole purpose
of undermining and subverting it. Real strategic planning went into this.
It is not coincidental.
