Judge Deals Blow to SCO -- and the unwashed cry 'harlot!'

Judge Deals Blow to SCO in $5 Billion Linux Lawsuit - Yahoo! News:
The holidays came early for devotees of the
Linux operating system when a judge last week threw out the majority of claims brought against IBM by the SCO Group in its $5 billion intellectual property rights case.
You people are idiots. Can you not see how you've been tricked into thinking a lawsuit against a large company over some potentially-misused code has got anything to do with Linux? The only part where Linux is involved in this thing is where IBM potentially used SCO Unixware/Monterey code in Linux. Linux hippies should be pretty pissed at IBM if such were ever the case, as it threatens the otherwise pristine nature of the code contributed to Linux.

But no, the Linux crunchies aren't up in arms at the potential sullying of their beloved 'free' code. Of all things, they've been whipped into a frenzy at SCO. It's akin to the villagers stoning a woman for crying 'rape.'

I continue to wonder what kind of ingenius promoting coerced the stupid villagers to believe what they do, although I'm pretty sure I know whom such a dramatic shift would directly benefit.

Did IBM do nasty things? how the hell should I know? I wasn't even there, and I'm certainly not going to jump to conclusions on that, let alone stone the potential victim. Let this thing play out, if it actually can in this highly biased environment. Shame on us for all being idiots in the village.
