Agree, so let's post a official position in the web site then.

here is my suggestion (please review my english if possible)

"
Regarding Mustux Project and the Attacks to the Free Software Community.

As long as Mustux Project team are deeply involved in developing and promoting Free 
Software by the means that Free Software Foundation stabilishes, 
we completely disagree with the recent attacks promoted by SCO. In this sense, we 
would like to state that our work will continue blindly, following all
FSF resolutions, even if the Linux kernel needs to be forked in order to clean the 
claimed SCO's code inside it, in case of all these allegation get proof.
Also, since ALSA modules would not be deeply affected by such forking, we are sure 
that a set-back in Linux kernel development will not have a noticeable impact on our 
work.

We also would like to state that we dont agree with the preventive extortion that SCO 
is pushing into the community. 
We hope that this irresponsability ceases soon, and SCO become a footnote on Free 
Software history.

All Mustux applications will remain under the GPL, but as a measure of repugnition on 
SCO's acts, we are ceasing all informal and formal support for Mustux Applications 
running in any SCO's products, including United Linux (as long as SCO are part of the 
consortium) and Caldera Linux. We encourage Mustux Application users (such Protux) 
that migrate to other GNU/Linux distributions. 

We also alert GNU/Linux/Mustux users to NOT to give any money to SCO. Instead, 
consider donating such money to FSF to help them defend the GPL in courts in case 
needed.

The Mustux Project Team.

Thanks
