Many people have already commented on Darl and his diversion towards Groklaw and specifically PJ as a wookie..
I don't think that Darl sees it that way - and let me try explain why ..
We have all seen the old school thinking that came out of Microsoft in its attempts to destroy Linux. There was a comment last year from some product development body in MS - that they didn't understand how to attack the community - but the knew how to attack the competition and kill companies ( I'm paraphrasing ).
SUN have said the same recently about Linux - the want people to believe RedHat is linux because they can try kill redhat
Darl / SCO are stuck with the same problem - they want to kill the community reaction to their scam - but their brains can't think big enough to attack the whole community - so instead they pick prominent bits to attack.
They have already had a go at the GPL ( and been totally trashed ) so now they pick a member of the community that holds a particularly large thorn in their side - PJ.. this is just plain old-school brain thinking.. It's the same confused view that MS use.
Groklaw is a meeting place - just as this board is a meeting place. Lots of us meet here - lots of us meet at Groklaw - take Groklaw out of the picture and we will move somewhere else. Take that down - and we'll move on.
They can't see that we are community of people utterly outraged by their behaviour - it doesn't matter which one of us they take out - two more will step up to continue the process. I object to SCO calling me a thief - when they refuse to identify the items they claim I stole. I will not have my good name smeared by their petty childish lies.
Dear Darl - if you are reading - your problems are not Groklaw, or PJ, or Y! or tuxrocks... your problems are
a/ "No credible evidence"
b/ Guilty of telling multiple lies to the press, shareholders, legal system
c/ No long term viability for SCO2
d/ "No credible evidence"
e/ "No SCO IP"
f/ "No vell still hold the copyrights"
g/ We ( the community ) won't let you rape and pillage the work of others for your own personal greed.
h/ We ( the community ) will honour any of your intellectual property that you can identify (completely, line by line, file by file with full history and proof of heritage ) - and we will make sure no GPL software contains it - because we believe in IP....
i/ We ( the community ) will take apart any lies you publish - and publish the truth - you are always welcome to refute the truth we publish - but we don't trust you or SCO with your weasel words and lies. So we want proof.
j/ Oh yeah - and your shills really could do with some work - they are so bad that members of the community have to help them out with their lies
Thanks for listening.
