[Discussioni]Fwd: [fsl-discuss] LinuxTag Sends Cease-and-Desist to SCO

[Stefano Maffulli]

e se qualche associazione italiana (ILS? con qualche azienda) producesse
un comunicato simile o chiedesse a linuxtag di tradurre questo?  Pensate
che sia  il caso di farlo?  Ieri un cliente SCO mi ha chiesto: ma e`
vero quello che dicono?
