I listened to the SCO conference call today. Listening to Dah-rul McBride ranting about forcing companies to either pay SCO's extortion or stop using Linux (how about another choice? Stop using any SCO product? Dickhead.) just made me want to scream.
It's hard, ruling out stupidity or stock fraud, to understand McBride's thinking. He goes after IBM, claiming they put parts of UnixWare (one of the lamest, most backward Unix varieties ever) into Linux without permission (assuming that Linux would accept such crappy code), then sends extortion letters to companies that use Linux, getting him sued by RedHat for attempted restraint of trade, then says that Linux end users will have to pay up $699 per copy for the privilege of continuing to run Linux. He sounds like a very stupid mob enforcer trying to extort protection money.
I want to get his perp walk on tape when the feds shut his sorry ass down.
