Yes, this was obvious since the first accusation. But "they" -) didn't formulate it that way but came down with completely false (if not intentionally lied *from the very first day of the public campaign*). -) used the Linux kernel as a - innocent - vehicle for their great campaign to get bought by IBM (which - for God's sake - didn't work out) *without* any serious and real background, evidence or anything else.
So it's completely up to these folks to make up for the damage they evoked.
And yes, I can understand that "they" want to make money and get rich (who doesn't want this?). And no, this doesn't imply any tolerance or even understanding of the used means, the lying all the way, spreading FUD, and all other less then serious accusations and the media show.
Berndm, shutting now up about SCO since they are apparently dead
PS: I don't understand for what reason any (and which) entity should give them money (and if it's only 1$). -- "Mozart hätte Stehgeiger werden müssen, wenn Haydn ein Patent auf Symphonien bekommen hätte" - http://www.luga.at/swpat/ "Der Horizont vieler Menschen ist ein Kreis mit Radius Null - und das nennen sie ihren Standpunkt." - A.
