Hi All,
I am not sure how to do this but...

  I think this calls for the end of SCO
  This action needs a response.
 Anyone using SCO products should take action to remove the need for them.
 The company (SCO) should be told that it is blacklisted and will recieve no futher income
 from anyone using or wanting to use Linux.

This action has set back the whole Linux initiative 6 months to a year.
I have lost contracts because of the pending action ane SCO comments. I am sure there are others
in the same situation.
 regards
  Phil Wilshire
