explaining SCO

Groklaw is carrying a complete adaption of The Grinch Who Stole Chrismas relating SCO‘s story. Great stuff.

SCO had been caught by this little GNU daughter
who’d got out of bed for a cup of cold water.
She stared at SCO and said, “SCO, why,
“Why are you taking our free Linux? WHY?”

But, you know, that SCO was so smart and so slick
They thought up a lie, and they thought it up quick!
“Why, my sweet little tot,” the two-faced leader lied,
“There’s code on this tree that won’t work on my side.
“So we’re taking it home to our workshop, my dear.
“We’ll fix it up there. Then we’ll bring it back here.”

And their fib fooled the child. Then they patted her head
And they got her a drink and they sent her to bed.
And when Cindy-Lou GNU went to bed with her cup,
They went to the chimney and stuffed the code up!
