> I still characterize them by their Halloween documents...

Anytime somebody mentions this, all I hear is, "They said mean things about my ideology of choice".

Then you should actually skim them; while of course their presentation as "the Halloween documents" is propaganda, they're sufficiently damning in their own right.

They financed a bogus lawfare campaign against Linux, although I doubt they knew it was utterly bogus (The SCO Group never actually owned any rights to UNIX(TM), and knew it before commencing the lawsuits.)

Yep, I've skimmed them (or at least, ESR's articles about them). Propaganda is a well-know weapon in business, only it is better known as "PR".
