No excuse for idiocy (unless your name is Darl McBride)
I have 100 licenses for Linux. I noticed the lawsuit threat (Ransom Letter) states that by complying you agree not to hold SCO legally responsible in the event that the legal motion is determined to be in favor of the Defendant (IBM). So if I paid the ransom, I can't sue SCO for the money back for scamming me into paying the ransom?

And what makes SCO and Darl McClown think I'm going to pat that ransom fee without a final judgement?
