It's sad to see that a lot of the members of this list have gone so far off in their desire to gain fame and notoriety at the expense of another.. I don't like what SCO is doing any more than anyone else. But the fact of the matter is, if there is any truth to their allegations, the offenders should be prosecuted. If someone breaks the law, they should be prepared to accept the punishment. This is not my opinion, it is the way things are. If Microsoft stole GPL'd code and used it in a closed-source project, you would all be furious and demanding justice. I don't see how this is any different looking at it objectively. If there is in fact no truth in the case, that will be decided. Either way, it's sad to see that the primary focus of many of the members of the mailing list has turned to spite and childish attempts to get noticed.
I have better things to do with my time than stage infantile protests just to gain attention and seek out the fame associated with it. No matter how you try to justify this thing, that is the only reason you are doing it. It will not change anything in the case. It will not hurt SCO. It is only being done to gain recognition. Nothing else. This said, I hope the list can get it's focus back on track and get back to the things that are important. I wish you all well in your pursuit of Linux and other projects out there that are worth supporting. I've had a good time helping out with questions on this list and in some of the general discussion. But it's time to move on to better things now. I'm sad to see how far down the list has gone.
