McBride: Our goal is not to blow up Linux. People ask why we don't go after the distributors...'If you have such a strong case, why not shut down Red Hat?' Our belief is that SCO has great opportunity in the future to let Linux keep going, not to put it on its back but for us to get a transaction fee every time it's sold. That's really our goal.

Yep, thats what I thought it was. Now you admit that you want to charge for the work of hundreds of opensource programmers.
Scumbag.

I suggest as many people as possibly post this image everywhere to cause laughs and to eat up badwidth on SCO's server.

Potentially. However, if SCO gets its ass kicked by IBM, they will likely go bankrupt.
To be honest, I start to wonder if SCO boys really are, as Linus put it, "smoking crack." When they bought ancient AT&T unix, they bought the BSD settlement. It's insane to challenge it ten years later.
