Then we find some friendly lawyers and defend ourselves, as we'd have
to do whether or not we support SCO users by maintaining the Perl
ports to SCO platforms.  I think your hypothetical is irrelevant to
the question of whether we continue to help the programmers and
sysadmins whose management decided to use SCO.  If you want to show
support for the people fighting evil, donate to the FSF or EFF.

In the immortal words of Larry Wall, "The Golden Gate wasn't our fault
either, but we still put a bridge across it."
