Story: SCO opens new legal front against Novell

I am at a loss as to why SCO cannot be restrained, at this time, by the justice system. They have, as yet, still to prove any of their claims. There must be laws to say what they are doing is wrong and they should/must desist and use the courts properly to establish or debunk their assertions.

If their claims are solid, I would have expected to see more actual progress by now, rather than all this FUD activity which I regard as criminal.

No doubt the case may be legally complicated, even if it is morally simple, but you don't execute a murder suspect before before bringing him to trial and convicting him
Similarly SCO should not be able to threaten or extort (the suggested licence fee is excessive whatever the outcome) the LInux community when the facts have not been established.

So far as SCO products are concerned, I hope people vote with their feet and walk away from their products and services. Hardly a company to trust. Being a suspicious person, I still wonder where Microsoft is positioned in all this.
