Some in this group have had run ins with DaimlerChrysler's legal group and came away poorer and licking their wounds. :-( Well it seems a computer company, SCO, sued Chrysler and AutoZone over their use of Linux. (a free computer operating system for the non-geeks) Seems SCO thinks that they own some of the code in Linux and since it is free they don't make any money. The only problem is the SCO is unwilling to prove they own the code and seem to want to get rid of Linux by suing their customers, IBM, Novell, and anybody else they can think of. Needless to say SCO is immensely unpopular with the Linux crowd.
When I read this article I thought of Nathan and Dennis's issues with DC lawyers.
"DaimlerChrysler's lawyers didn't just beat SCO. They kicked SCO up one side of the courtroom and down the other. They stomped all over SCO's famous law firm. They demolished SCO . . . ."
"There was something joyous, something gleefully vicious, in the DaimlerChrysler legal filings. They didn't just ooze confidence -- they exploded with it."
I wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of those Pit Bulls in suits. But in this case I did enjoy SCO getting its clock cleaned.
