See this piece of slanderous garbage from the BBC: http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/mpapps/pagetools/print/news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/3457823.stm

(Admins: yeah, there's 5 paragraphs, but they're too short!!!)
(...)
But, in the case of the MyDoom computer worm, the motivation seems clearer.

It has attacked a company based in Utah called SCO, bringing down its website with a barrage of data sent from countless computers into which the worm had been insinuated, unbeknownst to the users.

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.
(...)
If anyone's anger has no measure, it is the wrath of internet zealots who believe that code should be free to all (open source).

So, it seems likely that the perpetrators of the MyDoom virus and its variants are internet vandals with a specific grudge.
(...)
Is SCO getting propaganda tips from the B*sh Administration? CUI BONO, people??? :puke:

Edit: typo, clearer formatting, and additional thoughts.
