TWIMC: Hiawatha Bray has an article on the opening page of the Business section in today's Boston Globe, entitled "Open Season on Open Source". Mr. Bray paints the SCO lawsuit as a serious threat to the use of Linux, with prominent mention of SCO's FUD letters going out to every Linux user it can find, and a declaration that SCO "Owns the legal rights to Unix". There's no refutation or legal opinion to the contrary: Mr. Bray doesn't even mention Novell's claims. In addition, the article has no information about SCO's profitability, or the likelihood of it returning profits by a means other than lawsuits. The first three letters of the article are "FUD". I wonder if there's a hidden message? _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
