* SCO to Sue Over Unauthorized Use of Earth's Resources
Lindon, UT - On the heels of its campaign against users of the
Free Software program Linux, the SCO Group today announced that
it will begin a new round of lawsuits against users of other
free resources, including fire, water, air and land.
"People think they can just use free things without paying for
them," said SCO CEO Daryl McBribe. "This kind of 'socialism' is
anti-American and a violation of the Constitution. It's up to
corporations like SCO to crush that kind of idealism."
Added Daryl's other brother Daryl, "Yeah, what he said."
SCO plans to offer a generous and reasonable licensing program
for Earth's remaining natural resources with prices as low as $700
per carbon-based life form.
"We think once people realize how much money it takes to fund
lawsuits...er...um. I mean, innovation, they will happily sign
up," said McBribe.
