So Long, SCO

Eben Moglen, professor of law at Columbia University Law School and General Legal Counsel of the Free Software Foundation, has this to say of SCO's outlandish claims on Linux: "There's a traditional definition of a shyster: a lawyer who, when the law is against him, pounds on the facts; when the facts are against him, pounds on the law; and when both the facts and the law are against him, pounds on the table. The SCO Group's continuing attempts to increase its market value at the expense of free software developers, distributors and users through outlandish legal theories and unsubstantiated factual claims show that the old saying hasn't lost its relevance."
