The "Halloween" series of documents all relate in some way to

Microsoft's responces to open source.  Since Microsoft has paid

millions of dollars to SCO for their questionable licences where,

historically, Microsoft would have been fighting tooth and nail

against paying anything, many see these fees as funding for SCO's IBM

lawsuit and general troublemaking against Linux.  Thus, even though

the topic of the paper is the SCO vs. IBM lawsuit, it has status as a

"Halloween" document.  It picks apart SCO's suit pretty well.  My

favourite part is where they find a Darl McBride interview from 2002

where he says that open source software like Linux impresses him.
