Ah, SCO. I read an article (which I can’t FIND now!) likening McBride to Keanu Reeves’ character in Point Break who jumps out of an airplane without a parachute.
Distribute freely, but keep the copyright blurb on it, please. And if anyone remembers the article I’m talking about, please let me know.

Don’t know if this is the original one or not, but it came up pretty early in my Google search

Yup, that’s the one.
Sorry for not googling it myself sooner. Silly Howard!

No Prob.
You might want to submit this to PJ, since she ran the Ballmer one too.
hahahahaha beautiful
You trying to become the official cartoonist for Groklaw? *laughs*
He can’t afford to – if he does, McBride’ll sue him and his family out of existence for defaming SCO, claiming prior bias due to his previous employment at Novell… even if he was only working in the Groupwise line.
Maybe SCO could get Kevin Bacchus of Infinium Labs working with them, and then sue every console out of existence by claiming that they’re infringing upon the yet-to-be-released-or-even-properly-demonstrated Phantom console? 😛
Somehow I doubt that one – mainly because people don’t tend to sue editorial cartoonists.

SCO’s sued just about everyone else – and they were raising a stink a while ago about Groklaw because the manager of the site was employed by a legal group which has links with free software, so she ended up quitting her job because of it. They’re probably foolish enough to consider an editorial cartoon something that damages their trademark – hell, American Greeting sued a webcomic artist a while ago over a parody.
Why wouldn’t they? They’ve been stupid enough to drop programming staff (used to maintain the product they’re selling) in order to hire lawyers.
Now lets see if we can get this slashdotted. 🙂
By all means. Email malda (at) slashdot.org. Plug away!
