Jon 'Maddog' Hall - very damning for SCOX

I bumped into Jon 'Maddog' Hall at a trade show yesterday and he told a funny
story about how Linus Torvalds got a Lifetime Achievement award from Uniforum.
It seems that in 1997 the CEO for the Santa Cruz Operation pushed this honor
through the Uniforum committee responsible for such things, then presented it to
Linus personally.

Jon also told a funny story about a conversation he had with Darl McBride a
while back, but he swore me to secrecy - can't tell it until SCOX v. IBM is
finalized. I hope I run into him again, as that particular tale very much
deserves a direct, personal telling like this bit about the Uniforum award.
