This suggestion from a local user and sometimes LJ author:
----- Forwarded message from Glenn Stone <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----
According to this article in the Register:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/33697.html
The SCO Group has begun distributing Linux under a more restrictive license than the GPL. I do believe they have stepped in the proverbial tar baby. Each and every person who has ever written even a one-byte patch to Linux is eligible to DMCA-notice them, and their upstream provider when they are ignored.
If we were to all line up, all bazillion of us, and one at a time serve their provider notice and have their bandwidth dropped until such time as they correct their error, we could have them down for years! Or at least until such time as the clue-by-four connected with Darl McBride's temple, or the SEC gets wise to this whole stock scheme and puts them out of business for good....
But anyway. Any Linux kernel contributor has the right to terminate SCO's right to distribute same by citing non-compliance with the GPL, and serve DMCA notice that they must cease and desist from providing therefore-unlicensed software for download.
SCO's upstream provider, as far as mtr can tell:
