Bruce Perens has said it far better than I ever could at http://perens.com/SCO/DOS/. Please read what he has to say.
We (Open Source, ISPs, etc) must, MUST, come to SCO's defense on this one. I am doing what I can with my employer to do just that.
I agree both with Mr. Bicknell, and with Mr. Perens for the reasons given. I believe further that condemning this attack and doing what we can to thwart it are simply the right things to do.
Allowing attacks like this to succeed, either directly or indirectly is far more harmful than allowing SCO to stay online. We cannot condone these actions for any reason, the end does not justify the means in the case of worms.
