[TriLUG] SCO and what I'd like to see..

[Greg Brown]

..and no, it's not McBride burning in effigy (though that does sound 
like a good idea).  No, what I'd like to see is a one page document 
written up by a lawyer detailing EXACTLY why anyone should not, as a 
company or end user running Linux, be afraid of this lawsuit.  I DO NOT 
WANT ONE SINGLE COMPANY to pay squat to SCO in license fees.  I DO NOT 
ONE SIGNLE COMPANY to be lied to by M$ saying how wincrap is now "less 
expensive" than Linux and how running Windows would indemnify one from 
legal action without a single page, easy to understand document 
detailing why this is all a load of crap.

A good start for that $1 million RH pledged is to get a one sheet legal 
paper prepared by INDEPENDENT lawyers (or a lawyer specializing in IP) 
covering all 50 states detailing exactly why this case is BS.  It has 
to be one sheet and it has to be easy to read and understand and it has 
to have a URL pointing back to a web portal (and I hate that term) 
detailing exactly why the case in BS, why they shouldn't license, and 
why they shouldn't believe any of the SCO or M$ FUD surrounding this 
case.

That's my wish list.

I know that someday I would regret the decision not to continue on to 
law school.  I guess that day has arrived.  Honestly I don't know what 
I would do with a JD if I had one, though I would think I would know 
EXACTLY how far I could push this civil disobedience issue before I 
actually broke a law.
