This is a comment on news story: SCO Blames Linux For Bankruptcy Filing
It's a reply to comment: Blame Yourself

Re: Blame Yourself by: Rich Lohman 
I was waiting for someone to say it.

I work with a company that developed technologies and processes for electronically processing checks through the Federal Reserve. What was our first hurdle? Not competing against large financial service processors with big dollars to throw at new ideas. Not Federal regulation. But that little band of lawyer pukes that saw an opportunity to patent a process - not a technology, but a process. Now, companies like ours who put the sweat into turning out real innovation have to deal with patent violations from these losers that couldn't code a "Hello World!" program.

Sorry, Darl, but you've got no sympathy. Linux got you down, there Bunky? Hey, if you can't innovate, evacuate. There's probably a law school nearby where you can get a law degree. I'm sure you'll do just fine!
