we're just used the german fair trade law  ;-)

You should check if your law permits a temporary injunction against people who
claim facts that they can't proove and interfere with your business (or
someone else business, namely anyone who sells linux services). I suggest you
get a lawyer for that.

With this injunction, SCO can't claim these facts anymore. In fact, we went to
court because they failed to obey the injunction: the letter, which SCO sent
to 1500 companies, was on their website days after they received the it..

I think the important thing to do is to get a lawyer. Maybe look for an
organization like the EFF to get a lawyer which has some "behind knowledge" on
the field.
