SCO is apparently the target of the MyDoom e-mail virus. Infected machines are supposed to take part in a denial of
service attack against SCO beginning February 1st. Toward
that end, SCO has offered a $250K reward for information which leads to the conviction of the miscreant who created the virus.

It’s hard not to gloat. SCO is after all a bunch of
litigious bastards. Daryl McBride, CEO of SCO has recently begun to lobby members of Congress with all sorts of nonsense, most of which has been critiqued by many others, including Lawrence Lessig and groklaw. SCO is failing in the marketplace for exactly the same reason so many other dot-com companies went bust: they are trying to market a piece of software for serious dollars that they can’t even give away. I doubt that litigating their way to profitability is going to prove fruitful.
