SCO's German site shut down

Injunction bites
Wed Jun 04 2003, 11:47
THE SUCCESSFUL injunction taken out by LinuxTag last week over SCO's claim that Unixware intellectual property is infringed has led to the shutdown of the German site.

The injunction, granted in a German court last week, meant that SCO downed its entire site in case parts of it detailing its claims against Linux would bring it into conflict with the law.

LinuxTag took out the injunction after it had asked SCO to substantiate its allegations that the Linux OS contained portions of Unix code.

You can't see that the SCO site isn't there because it's not there anymore.

Do you think the move was justified?
