> 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?
