Re: [LUG] American Troll

 

This is IMO a wind-up, leg-pull, hoax, etc.  "Tristan" probably meant to
issue it on April 1 but delayed till 20th because it might have been too
obvious.  "No tools for defragging a disk" forsooth.  And I really miss
FrontPage :-)

As a blague it's quite clever, but the taste is bad, and surely this is
defamatory:

"It's a computer program that was initially developed in Finland as a
means of circumventing valuable copyrights and patents owned by an
American company called SCO Group."

Not that one wants to get involved in /that/ bit of litigation.
