SCO, which said that it would not go after Linux users when it CRLFsued IBM, has gone after Linux users, sending letters to 1,500 CRLFcorporations warning that their use of the open source software CRLFmay result in financial liability because of patents. Critics say CRLFthat SCO - which has now stopped distributing its version of CRLFLinux - has essentially declared war on the Linux community. CRLFOthers suggest that SCO - which didn't actually invent anything, CRLFacquiring its rights (if any) via purchases - is simply trying to CRLFmake itself an attractive take-over target. Yeah. Like Iraq.
