If so, the plan may be backfiring. Looks to me like SCO's collective
IQ is dropping fast with every successive press release. "A threat to
America's security and economy", faugh -- what do they think the
gubmint's gonna do, take away our 'net connections and chop off our
hands so we can't write code?  Keeping Linux available and free seems
like a straight-up First Amendment issue, to me. After all, if they
try to ban open-source software, that would be tantamount to banning
source code itself. It's hard to see how that would be good for
anyone.

And what the *$&#^ do "America's security and economy" have to do
with SCO's contract dispute with IBM, anyhow?

I can only laugh at SCO. And fart in their general direction.

P.S. -- Would the above be considered a "strident rant"? Just
curious.
