	From: "J. Paul Reed" <preed at sigkill.com>
	It has nothing to do with the legal merit of the case against IBM; it has
	to do with anti-competitive business practices and SCO's use of (according
	to the Australian complaint) "unsubstantiated claims and extortive legal
	threats for money."

	Don't confuse the two.

To present your argument, you have to accept ""unsubstantiated claims and extortive
legal threats for money." as fact, when in fact, independents taking SCO up on their
offer generally agree that at least some of the claims are in fact very substantiated.

So, at face value, the Australian is harrasment and defformation by the open software
community presenting it in that country.
