ESR Slams SCO -- 8:24 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

Eric S. Raymond slapped SCO silly in his blog after they claimed that he (and other open-source activists) are working at IBM's behest. While this article has a bit more vitriol than I would have preferred, his point is nonetheless correct. If someone accuses me of being a thief, I'm not going to wait around until somebody pays me to say, "Oh, no I'm not." It takes a lot to get the Richard Stallmans of the world to throw their support behind a monolithic corporation like IBM. SCO succeeded in doing that. Thanks Slashdot.

When I hear anything from SCO lately, I'm reminded of every scene in the Jaws movies when a swimmer sees a huge dorsal fin heading his way.

And for a second helping of anti-SCO vitriol, I present this article at the Inquirer. I actually giggled as I read that one.

The Master comments: I'm not sure if I'm just dreaming it, but in the "mainstream" IS tech weeklys, there has been next to no mention of the SCO rebuttal coming from the Linux front. I find that somewhat odd and disturbing, considering how much coverage the SCO-IBM lawsuit got. Or, maybe I'm just getting paranoid.
