A gut reaction to news that hackers broke into The SCO Group’s Web site and mocked its claims to own parts of the Linux operating system might be a feeling that SCO brought it on itself by trying to constrain the open source movement through its legal maneuvering. But that thought quickly passed with the recognition that breaking and entering is wrong whether it’s through a window or a Web page. Open source supporters will get their day in court in the unfolding of SCO’s lawsuit against IBM over claims Big Blue violated SCO’s copyright on Unix System V. On Monday, hackers inserted a banner that read, “We own all your code. Pay us all your money.” Gordon Haff, senior analyst with IT research and analysis company Illuminata, says the truth of SCO’s claims will be examined fully on the merits. “I don’t think it’s beneficial for this kind of thing (the SCO hacks) to be done,” Haff says. “At the end of the day, SCO’s claims are going to be resolved one way or another in court.” Technology Industry
