Journal hedley's Journal: SCO ShakeDown
So what happens when the ShakeDown goes international? I.e. if they start sweeping the IP space for Linux TCP/IP fingerprints, whois'ing them and, if available, a contact, start emailing the contacts (or ISP's) indicating that a 'scofflaw' exists at that IP and a tithe is needed?
They really could get a fantastic revenue stream out of this. Would you pay a shakedown fee or represent yourself to maintain that your kernel was clean? Would you submit to a review of the code on your box at that IP addr? Do you have the time and funds to resist this discovery?
What a royal pain! I don't expect to have to pledge an oath of fealty in this day and age!
