11/07/2003 Archived Entry: "The SCO Linux issue"
I have tried to post this comment on Slashdot but unfortunatly I get an error that says, "to few characters per line." So I will post the comment here.
Okay So you think That SCO is lying and manipulating the price of it's stock with this lawsuit. Then do something about it. Complain to the Securities and Exchange commission. You don't have to own SCO stock to complain. Explain to them that you are a Linux user and that you feel SCO's actions are affecting your ability to distribute ,sell, or use your Linux product. That your software of choice is being defamed through a malicious campaign to give your product of choice a bad name. This could have a detrimental effect on your ability to also acquire future releases of your software. Explain that you feel that SCO is using this campaign to manipulate the price of their stock.
You want to contact the enforcement division of the Securities and Exchange commission. You can directly e-mail them at:
They also have online web page forms you can fill out.
http://www.sec.gov/divisions/enforce.shtml Is the link to the enforcement division's page.
http://www.sec.gov/complaint.shtml Is the page that leads to various types of complaint forms you could fill out.
http://www.sec.gov/complaint/cf942sec7040.htm This is the page for the "other" form which you can fill out.
You will also need to understand that a copy of your form will go to SCO. Which may not be a bad thing.
You will need to give them contact information. They will contact you back. If the information is not correct the complaint will be dumped.
