Didn't this whole thing start with even bad math regarding the total sum of the money passed around?
I love how the linux camp regurgitates their own badly-researched news as real news - that's if one considers newsforge to be real news.
Yah, I don't expect SCO to come forward with any clarifications. The linux 'Community' (cf 'mob') hasn't been too receptive of a single damned thing SCO has ever done. What the hell kinda cause do they have to explain themselves to the likes of us? We've been terrible.
No, I don't expect a clarification. *I* wouldn't clarify myself pointlessly to some hating rabble, anyway. I'd just hope to get the business part of it all settled (Look up Project Monterey in your Linux SCO-haters playbook) and move on with the business that remains.
SCO could have a case, here, but we'll never know. I don't even think they can get anyone to impartially hear whatever facts remain in the original case, what with all the pitchforks and torches.
Odd that yesterday's ogre with far too much money to spend on commercials and astroturfed grassroots movements is quiet - far from painting sidewalks - and everyone hates SCO. I'm wondering if the 1 billion spent on linux wasn't all spent on turf. We all know it only went to ads anyway, but maybe this year's ads were instead just one ad and a bunch of underground movements.
Mr Raymond, I don't think you cheque's in the mail. Please get back to respectable pursuits: RobLimo's got the fact-light scoops and Mr Stallman's covered the baseless rants that no one can follow.
