SCO has
just lost another key man. And as you may have read or heard by now,
SCO is going after PJ (of Groklaw), striving to
sue (see correction) her (yes! a blogger) for slander, possibly using their ludicrous claim that she is somehow affiliated with IBM.
I thought it would be a suitable time to state that neither Shane nor I have anything whatsoever to do with companies that are affected by Novell, Microsoft, or Linux. Shane and I have got jobs which are not even related to Open Source or trade. Our endeavours here are driven by passion and all the claims made herein are truthful, unless the source that we cite or read happen to be mistaken or unreliable. At times we even
defended Novell because we believe in the truth.
So, there's your disclosure. The informative nature of this blog should never be mistaken for propaganda. And if we ever make a mistake, we urge you to correct it. It would be naive to think that companies are always honest and open with regard to intent. That is the raison d'être of so-called citizen journalism.
Correction: the source where I read this mentioned a lawsuit, but Forbes only speaks about a subpoena.

I, too, am dismayed by SCO's actions (how many times have I written that in the last 2+ years?) and would also like to say "on the record" that I haven't any affiliation nor financial stake in any of the companies I laud and⁄or chastise.
Time to actually get off my duff and donate to the EFF and ACLU.
