McBride added that unless more companies start licensing SCO's property, he may also sue Linus Torvalds, who is credited with inventing the Linux operating system, for patent infringement.

And the HITZ just keep on a coming...

Sontag, McBride and Microsoft... what a hit making group.

SCO: VV3 0VV|\\| J00, L 1 |\\| |_| X! 4ND 1 |3 |\\/| IBM: Lamerz, you are... we prithy not to bow to you. SCO: LINUX is UNIX, by Tainting! We REQUIRE MONEY or you are going down <insert 1500 companies> <insert 1500 companies>: <nervously>BWAHAHAHA, that's funny. SCO: We have a NEW Licensee for *OUR* UNIX Patents and Copyrights MICROSOFT: See we knew it all the time, Linux was IP Theft, BAD GNU GPL, Good to support the industry by licenses and licensing, we "made sure our products were in compliance"... NOVELL: HEY, SCO... WTF are Joo DOING? You ain't got NO Patents or Copyrights... We OWNZ EM. SCO: Liar Liar Pants on Fire... We own em. NOVELL: OKAY, show us exactly were in the any public registrar where it says you own them, rather we can show using the government sources regarded as authoritative that we own them. SCO: Nuah, uhhh!

Needless to say, we as the Open Source Community are OUTRAGED, but this speed bump is soon to be ground down, all without (even though we give it) our help.

SCO Group Chief Executive Darl McBride said a published report that his company may take legal action against Linux founder Linus Torvalds was overstated.

Responding to a portion of a Wednesday story by CBS Marketwatch that has generated intense criticism from the Linux community, McBride told CNET News.com that targeting Torvalds is unlikely.
...
Torvalds, meanwhile, said he sees legal action against him as ineffectual but not inconceivable. "I don't see what (SCO) would expect to gain from suing me, but they don't seem to be acting very rationally," he wrote in an e-mail interview.
