The Substantially Similar Weblog

By now, you’ve probably all heard about Mydoom, the latest trivial exploit of Microsoft vulnerabilities that is ravaging the Microsoft world and inflecting some collateral damage on the rest of us. SCO, an apparent target of the virus, is offering a $250000 reward for the arrest of the author. I also heard through the grapevine that Mydoom will not send any email to an account with a domain that contains “mozilla.”

I hope this doesn’t provoke a negative backlash against free software. I imagine SCO is going to accuse us of “not being able to police our own,” as part of their campaign to discredit the entire development model.
