Funny about SCO

And here is another quote from http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11245
However, the best news for the Open Source movement all week so far has
to be Rob Landley's article, written with Eric Raymond, entitled "It
Ain't Necessarily SCO". In it, the authors rebut SCO's Amended Complaint
in its lawsuit against IBM in painstaking and thoroughly researched
detail, claim by claim. It takes apart SCO's prevarications and
misrepresentations with unremitting logic, devastatingly factual
accuracy and shrewd historical insights.
There are a number of enlightening analyses and deconstructions in this
piece, along with some illuminating legal and technical revelations that
we've not seen elsewhere previously.
**For instance, did you know that, because SCO filed its initial
Complaint before it registered its copyright, it's therefore limited by
statute to recovering merely $150,000 for any infringements? There are
several such Aha! moments awaiting an assiduous reader of this analysis.**
Funny, isn't it?
