ROFL. Its too much, really. SCO goes after its own customers.
Looks like SCO's first and best legal targets are their own customers! LOL. It's just too funny. SCO kills me with their hummor and wit. "Buy our products so we can sue you with greater ease." It's got to be the smartest advertising campaign I ever heard of.
Re: SCO is anyone worried?

It seems like everytime I look at the news about the SCO situation more and more companies are purchasing a license through SCO.
While I realize that it may seem that way, sco actually has very few bogus licenses paid-up, and it's beginning to look like the CA license was accomplished through secretive intent.
There will always be entities who can't be bothered to know the facts about the sco situation. Some of those will find their cowardice preyed upon by extortionists like sco.
That's life, and sco is making as much of it as they can in the media.

Does this worry anyone or not?
I, for one, am not worried in the least; and think that the propriety of cross-litigation against sco--perhaps in the form of a class-action suit--is growing day by day.
The Halloween X memo is the latest confirmation of what we already knew, which raises the possibility of further sanctions against microsoft--sanctions which should have been levied in the first place--and other participant individuals and corporations.
I am convinced that a unified front, and coordinated action, against corporate criminals like gates & company, and McBride, will serve to correct the situation.
Instead of worrying about the future, if I were you, I'd seek to find a place in forcing that remediation to occur.

I mean what would this mean for me as a Fedora user? would I have to pay SCO?
You'll never have to pay sco a cent.
On the other hand, sco may find themselves returning much of the licensing they have extorted from their timid victims.

Does this mean I should consider going back to windows?
Why did you stop using windows in the first place?
Don't you enjoy greater freedom now?
Don't you receive greater value for your software dollar spent?
Why would you give that up?
The sco-game is being run from Redmond, and the spoils of the war will be control of the substance and flow of information of all types. (Ever wonder why microsoft is dabbling in the news services and Internet access?) After watching gates closely for the past couple of decades, I'm seriously considering the possibility that the boy is a sandwich-short of a picnic; much in the same way that Heinrich Himmler was.
