I am a bit upset with media saying that we, the free software advocates, are creating viruses (MyDoom). There is no doubt someone want us to be seen like dangerous terrorists.

SCO, and all companies that try to make money by sueing other companies instead of really producing things, have many enemies. Why don't they say that the IBM workers are developing viruses? Will it be because IBM can take actions against being defamed? Should we take legal actions against the media defaming us?

The virus had probably been created by a person or two. Why blaming an entire community for that?

If I known the person who created MyDoom I would state him/her clearly that s/he is making much harm to free software, that s/he is supporting ms war on free software just like terrorists are supporting George W. Bush antidemocratic politics.

Rarely a free software supporter may want to do that...
