In reply to Rob Enderle

Hello Rob,
Apparently you want to say that SCO might have a case.
Personally I doubt it.
So let the court decide about that.
But then you start expressing your oppinion about the legal system like this:
"The court system is an artificial world"
"So far the ones that come down against SCO appear to be paid by the other side,
I can not be sure about the ones for SCO but clearly some of them are paid by SCO"
(Artificial, paid by.)
Next you have an oppinion about the German court system.
"I am not clear why you would want to put this on trial in Germany anyway, folks I know avoid that court system like the plague"
"Folks you know avoid that court system."
I wonder why.
And still your whole story starts like this:
"I started to get disturbing e-mail from people I had previously respected"
Then you start FUDing individual people like this:
"Only one comment on this, they don't have to prove anything to the Linux
......
If you are right, they will lose, if you are wrong and haven't prepared yourself
or your company, then good luck in your next job
(assuming the blame falls on you or your department). Why take the risk?
It shouldn't be your problem to begin with.
"Why make this a personal risk or one that puts your department or company at risk
if you don?t have to? This isn?t a great time to be unemployed and that first article
you mention was written largely because of my concern that too many IT folks were putting
their jobs and the jobs of their people at risk needlessly because they weren?t doing
a proper job of justifying their decisions."
Very uggly, very, very indeed.
No Rob, you are not convincing at all, nor is SCO.
However, I would not comment yor story at all if you had not written this:
"the open-source community seemed collectively to say, "Theft is okay as long as we benefit."
That is rubbish. Open-sorce people do not think like that.
As far as your knowledge is concerned, yes, as you wrote:
"I personally had little interest in Linux"
As far as your friends and experts are concerned you said:
"I started to get disturbing e-mail from people I had previously respected"
Perhaps you are just bluffing.
