Great advice and commentary Richard. Now maybe you could inform the other so-called leaders of the free and open source software community, namely Eric S. Raymond. Late summer of 2003 SCO experienced an aledged DDOS attack. In the days following that event, ERS in a phone coversation admitted to Darl McBride that in fact the attack came from a member of the FOSS community. This admission was based on an anonymous phone caller pointing to a member of the FOSS community the caller also didn't identify. In short, ZERO proof. This would be no big deal except that this incident is used continually by members of the tech press, including those of the Rob Enderle ilk, as evidence of a proven attack from the FOSS community. Nothing short of a public statement from ERS, possibly in the form of his now regular Open Letters will correct this, and would give us a link to post whenever this incident is used by the press to forward their guilt by association, evidence-less anti FOSS smear campaign. Hear this above point in ERS own words. Listen to the Linux show archives of September 9, 2003.
