Open Season on Open Source?



TWIMC:

Hiawatha Bray has an article on the opening page of the Business
section in today's Boston Globe, entitled "Open Season on Open
Source".

Mr. Bray paints the SCO lawsuit as a serious threat to the use of
Linux, with prominent mention of SCO's FUD letters going out to every
Linux user it can find, and a declaration that SCO "Owns the legal
rights to Unix". There's no refutation or legal opinion to the
contrary: Mr. Bray doesn't even mention Novell's claims.

In addition, the article has no information about SCO's profitability,
or the likelihood of it returning profits by a means other than
lawsuits.

The first three letters of the article are "FUD". I wonder if there's
a hidden message?
