Here is this tiny company, on the brink of being delisted. They loudly claim to be the owner of the UNIX operating system. They have:
- no patents
- no registered copyrights of any significants
- no trademarks
- apparently, no trade secrets
That anybody could take their insanely overblown claims seriously, for even one second, is amazing.
This same company loudly claims, in deference to all evidence and logic, that by extension they also own Linux, and BSD, and C/C++. They scream that could prove this, if they wanted to, they just don't want to. Yeah, right.
When the GPL gets in the way of their ludicrous claims, they declare the GPL is not only invalid, but unconstitution. As usual this claim defies all logic and evidence. But scox fully expects everybody to believe them, and very publicly writes congress about the matter. They also, very publicly, write thousands of major USA corporations, with their veiled threats, and demands for money.
This company loudly claims that all linux users owe them money for their scosouce linux license. But, they refuse to actually sell anybody one of these licenses. Nobody sees this as suspecious? Certainly not the mainstream media. In fact, the mainstream media, usually sides with scox, or at least seems to take scox very seriously.
This pathic blowhard annoyance of a two-bit joke company then decided to sue any array of industry giants: IBM, Chrysler, AutoZone. All these suits rest on their UNIX ownship claims. Claims which all respectable industry experts consider laughable. For the most part, scox refuses to anybody - including the courts, and the defendants - why scox is suing. Scox just sues, no reason, they just sue. Sure, that makes sense.
Suspecious funding flows into scox from companies with an anti-linux, and anti-GPL agenda, companies with a long history of unethical, even outright illegal behavior. Mysterious, unexplainable, buy recommendations come from companies with a long history of fraud. Scox's share price sky-rockets some 20X over withen a few months. Execs salaries get raised some 10X. Mysterious purchases are made. Few people raise an eyebrow. All of these actions are ignored, or even applauded, by mainstream media.
And after 20 months, the USA federal courts *still* act as if any of this is legitimate. This in spite of the fact, that scox has twice failed to produce *any* evidence after the court has ordered scox to do so.
How completely stupid can the USA justice system possibly be? How can this scam not be obvious to anybody? How can mainstream media be taken as anything other than a complete joke.
It just blows my mind.
