Last Thursday, The SCO Group Inc. Chief Executive Officer Darl McBride
posted an open letter on SCO's Web site arguing that Linux backers were
threatening to undermine the copyright protections provided in U.S. and
European law. McBride's posting was the latest in a series of public
statements by SCO portraying the open-source operating system as a
threat to the commercial software industry and an enemy of intellectual
property. "There is a group of software developers in the United States,
and other parts of the world, that do not believe in the approach to
copyright protection mandated by Congress," McBride wrote.
