The SCO Group City to City Tour

[interlug-vSRlqIl1h/9eoWH0uzbU5w at public.gmane.org]

The SCO Group is not the Santa Cruz Operation but they do try to pretend 
that they are.  The SCO group is also not UNIX System Laboratories and 
the USPTO has denied their attempt to claim that trademark.  

The SCO Group is the bunch that claims they have "mountains" of proof of 
code copied from their "IP" to Linux.  They claimed this in 2003 and in 
the two and a half years since they launched their law suit against 
IBM, they have not disclosed any of this evidence to the court.  In 
fact the presiding judge said this in court, 

	"Viewed against the backdrop of SCO's plethora of public 
	statements concerning IBM's and others' infringement of 
	SCO's purported copyrights to the Unix software, it is 
	astonishing that SCO has not offered any competent evidence 
	to create a disputed fact regarding whether IBM has infringed 
	SCO's alleged copyrights through IBM's Linux activities,"

So what?  Well, The SCO Group is holding another city to city tour to 
promote their company.  This year they have a stop in Toronto on the 
18th of May 2006 at Dave and Buster's.  And it's free.  Registration is 
required.

So if you think that you can sit through their sales pitch you can let 
them spend a day wining ind dining you.  Let them cast their marketing 
dollars on barren soil.  

Accurate and up to date information about The SCO Group can be found 
below.  Discussion is probably better placed on those fora than here.
