I honnestly don't care about SCO a lot (they're a joke as somebody clever
reported on the list !) but I *do* care about copyright violations. This is
clearly a copyright violation, and as David Lawyer reported earlier, yet another
misuse of our documents.
Whether it comes from SCO or anybody else, it is damaging both our image and the
authors reputation.
I would support any use of the legal system to make that stop.
We don't have a lot of money, but I think it using it to protect our work would
be a wise use.
If other members are also willing to follow that path, I think we should study
which legal options are available, and how much they would cost.
We need some legal help.
