"There seems little doubt that SCO was targeted - illegally and 
unacceptably, lest anyone be in any doubt - because it has enraged many 
people devoted to the Linux operating system."

Is this fair comment?

Why could they have been targetted?

a) - disgruntled employee
b) - the law suits
c) - random domain name
d) - the colour of the sunset on a friday in november
e) - the smell of napalm in the morning.

Of all the various reasons behind it, what is the most likely answer.

and since i am not a lawyer lets attempt logic ;-)

If one says that <insert random race here> are responsible for certain 
attacks - thats racism right?

If one says that <insert random gender here> are responsible for certain 
attacks - thats sexist right?

If one says that <insert random philosophy here> are responsible for 
certain attacks - thats obviously alright.

Its quite possible that in some countries, and under some conditions, 
"fair comment" can be mistaken for incitement.

Ribbit.
