SCO Offers Reward for Arrest and Conviction of Mydoom Virus Author (BallsDeep Declares war on SCO)
by Balls Deep at 3:02 pm EST, Jan 28, 2004

Yeah, Yeah everyone has seen this. Someone right now need to setup a page that takes paypal donations to defend the poor sap that sco is going to sue. Not that creating viruses is cool, but because SCO is yet another turd that needs to be wiped from the planet. My first sysadmin job was working with SCO, and I replaced it with Linux because SCO sucked so bad.
I didn't want it to come to this, but it is time. BallsDeep officially declares war on SCO!!

The ironic part is this SCO isn't even the original SCO. This is a small spin off of the Caldera / SCO merger. The old SCO is now known as Tarantela. As far as I know, the current SCO group doesn't even make any significant revenue from a product. Their business model seems to be lawsuits and intellectual property licencing for Sys V unix. Their claims of IP theft inside current linux distributions has not yet been proven. Novell is contesting their claim to the rights to SysV in the first place (Novell sold SCO unixware in the early 90s). SCO group is nothing more than bottom feeding, opportunistic scum.

[ yeah, my last job involved supporting SCO boxes. What a frickin nightmare. Of course, these days, linux pisses me the fuck off too, but SCO went above and beyond the call of duty in retardation. thankfully, i've purged much of what i remember about it.
I expect IBM's FINISH-THEM!-Mortal-Kombat-style-smackdown to occur before anyone catches this virus author, rendering the reward pretty moot. there won't be a lot to DOS when the SCO main page says simply "THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. -IBM" ]-k
