A group statement on SCO

Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Scare tactics. Microsoft is famous for
this. Has been for many years. Whenever a software company would
announce something that wasn't in a Microsoft product (back in the
feature wars of early Windows wordprocessors when Lotus' AmiPro and
WordPerfect were still alive), they'd announce that it was going to be
in the next release (vapor-wave), or they'd mention that it would most
likely not be compatible with whatever MS's choice was going to be.
They always come up with their own version that's just a little bit
different. The other famous 'embrace and extend' principle. CORBA vs
COM and tweaking Kerberos are two of the quickest examples I can think
of right off hand. Sounds like SCO's trying to use it now to their
advantage.

I think that's a good idea.
PS: what does FUD stand for?
