[LUG] Trading Standards, and SCO

[Adrian Midgley <akm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know little of these things, and it may not be trading 
stqandards, but rather the  FSA or other financial institutions 
that should be involved, however I notice that the SEC in the US 
has been asked to look at the manner in which SCO Group have 
been raising their share price following their poorly-detailed 
claims of intellectual property rights, and threats of requiring 
individual licence fees from users of Linux.

The most conspicuous payment for whatever their interest in Unix 
is has been from Microsoft, of course.

I think if we in the UK and even in Devon have not ensured that 
the UK financial authorities actually have a complaint of 
improper manipulation of the share price to investigate, then we 
should.
