My apologies to the "broader Linux community" that has been spouting
nastygrams about SCO long before there was any indication that the
barbs were deserved.

I will say now that it sure looks like SCO DOES deserve the censure,
but none of them knew that until just recently. Yet many howled
for boycotts etc. in spite of not having any idea whether or not the
claims were legit.

OK, as I said, it sure looks like they are not legit. But being
right for the wrong reason doesn't make me respect 'em any more.

Interesting that I haven't seen a peep in Slashdot about this..
