[NTLUG:Discuss] found this on SCO vs Linux

[Kenneth Loafman]

Quoted from Slashdot...

ashitaka writes "The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that an Open 
Source group has gone on the offensive in response to SCO's latest 
demands that Linux users must buy a Unixware license to avoid any 
possible future unpleasantries. 'Open Source Victoria today filed a 
complaint with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, 
asking it to investigate SCO's activities in light of 'unsubstantiated 
claims and extortive legal threats for money' against possibly hundreds 
of thousands of Australians.' I especially like the last bit: 'One feels 
that this whole fiasco is the IT industry equivalent of a Nigerian scam 
or internet extortion ploy.' Oh yeah.."

A single user may not have much effect, but a class-action countersuit 
would certainly get their attention and could result in an injunction 
against collection until after the case was settled.  If we can drag 
this out long enough, then their sources of income dry up and the SCO 
problem will just go away.

We don't pay the Microsoft Tax, why should we pay the SCO Tax?
