[Sussex] USENIX pipe up on SCO

[Geoff Teale]

Chaps,

USENIX have written to congress openly stating that SCO are committing
extortion.  Moreover they have banned SCO from distributing Nmap (which
is GPL code belonging to USENIX).  

One important point that USENIX is making is that availability of GPL
code has a bigger positive effect on the US economy than SCO's continued
survival.

USENIX's letter to congress is available here:

... USENIX are quoting GPL violations as a reason to ban SCO - I'm going
to ask some FSF people if there is any chance of taking SCO to court
over this violation.
