Too much airplay is being given to this idea that someone in the Linux community is responsible, or its a conspiracy by SCO or whatever.
Targetting an unpopular company or institution is par for the course in viruses these days. The last time it was Windows Update that was targetted. Plenty of people cheered that on as well, but Microsoft didn't turn around and blame everyone who hated them.
The bogeyman of the day is going to get bombed by whatever social retard writes such viruses. SCO happens to be today's bogeyman.
There is *no* story here. The comments on Slashdot cheering the virus on are nothing more than black humour. That's why they all are modded (Score:5, Funny).
Waste your effort on trying to track down the miscreant who did this. Not on writing SCO's "we're so hard done by" press releases for them.
