I just forwarded that to the ACCC with the following cover:

Further to my communication with you in July of 2003. Since that time,
I've seen the SCO group continue their attempts at shakedown of my
industry.

The attached email is taking that one step further.

As I said to you previously, I use and deploy Linux for my clients and
this is affecting my ability to run my company. Their claims are yet to
be tested in court - and for that matter in a court in the United States
- and so-far there appears to be little or no evidence suggesting that
they have any hope whatsoever of ever reaching any form of success.

Since the last time we communicated a number of web-sites have developed
that track the progress in this case, the most prominent of which is
Groklaw <http://www.groklaw.net/>. I strongly urge you to visit that
site and read for yourself what the SCO group is up to.

As a business in Australia, I thought it was completely illegal to
shake-down customers...

Kind regards,
Onno Benschop
