MyDoom - the most sucessful anti-globalisation action ever??

Isn't it odd how Indymedia, born from the anti-capitalist movement fails to recognise one of the most public and widespread anti-globilsation actions the world has seen.

The main target of MyDoom was www.sco.com, which for the last few days has been unobtainable. This company is trying to undermine the efforts of hundreds of open source developers who've communally created an operating system (Linux) for computers that is availble to everyone, everywhere and for free. If they succeed in claiming that parts of the of the Linux code belong to them, Linux will get sucked into the global market place along with all the others.... please discuss.
