[NCLUG] SCO Open Letter to the Open Source Community

There is nothing wrong with being a paralegal, and it is quite likely that 
Pamela Jones does not in fact want to be a lawyer.

This forum is intended for the betterment of the Northern Colorado Linux 
and open source community.  If you have any constructive criticism that
will help people use Linux and other open source software, we would 
like to hear it.

However, angry anti-Linux posts only discourage people from asking 
for help with Linux problems they are having.  So please post these 
things elsewhere.  

Thanks,
James DeWitt
