========= To: SCO I am a Linux user. I feel that SCO's tactics toward an operating system of my choice are unjust, ill founded and bizarre. I am willing to be sued because I am confident that SCO's tactics toward Linux will fail. If I have published my email address as part of this petition it is so SCO representatives can email me and begin the process of serving me a court order Sincerely, The Undersigned =========
Is it really worth while? I'm not sure.
I think the fact it had only 16 signatures when I looked speaks for itself.

It's grown a bit now, up to 4226 by the looks of it. Still a drop in the ocean as far as SCO is concerned though. I for one wouldn't like the idea of SCO taking up the offer though, as however confident you could be about the 'rightness' of the case, we are talking a court of law here, and there are many more things to consider in this type of case than being righ (IMHO), not least of which that SCO, however poor as a company, have significantly more financial muscle than me - hence I couldn't afford to defend myself.
As an aside, has anyone notice that CNET is removing its Linux software selection?
