support actions such as the recent denial of service attack on the SCO website.

Unfortunately, the typical response of a Linux user to SCO's claims has been to dismiss them.

Yeah, cause the claims are totally false. SCO did this only to get their shares up, then fill their greedy pockets with money by then selling them.

How can they claim every linux user supports the attacks against SCO?? Just because some does, dosent mean that everyone does.

What does that achieve?

Nothing other than hurting the image of the linux community...
Probably SCO themself who attacked themself  :-P

First things first. What exactly is SCO claiming was "copied"?

That is the biggest question... SCO does not want to show the code that was claimed stolen  :-x

They expect to blindly trust their word, and pay for their license without any proofs at all.

But that's the whole point for SCO to embark on something like this. They want to rake in licence fees.

I think so to, and also think they wanted to raise their stocks, so they could sell for big profits. "Rumours" i have heard say that is exactly what has happened, since SCO stocks raised sky high, the employes has been selling stocks as hel*

All they want is to fill their greedy pockets with money, before the company goes down.
