Taking SCO To Court :D


I am gonna take SCO to court as they have refused to cooperate when i submitted Freedom of Information Act Requests and failed to even respond after i sent them certified they had 30 days to comply. So i am now going to ask a federal court to make them comply by releasing proof or the information they have which they state supports their right over linux licensing and several other matters i think this could end up big as when i file it in san francisco court im making them pay my filing fee's and i got a free attorney courtesy of EFF we are gonna leave the suit open for class action.

I am too, in a round about way that is. I joined the FSF as an Associate Member to help pay for any legal fees they may have. And also to support free software.

Keep us posted if you are able to make any headway.
You do realize you are up against total lying scumbags, right?
And good luck, too.
