SCO and Mental Distress

Hello everyone,
I am no attorney, or actually know too much regarding the law, but does any one know if it is possible to start a civil class action suit against SCO by Linux users for reasons of Mental distress and anguish?
I know that some of you use Linux as well as the Mac OS for various reasons.
I look forward to hear your responses.

Sincerely,
Diablo...

Well, this could not only affect Linux users, but all free-Unix users out there since they are claiming to own the System V code. The one place that I know might have some information would be GrokLaw

The only people that come out ahead in a Class Action suit are the lawyers.

In this case I don't care. Just as long as SCO comes last, and is fatally wounded.

I just wish our legal system would put SCO in it's place like those in Germany and Australia. Red Hat's case shouldn't take that long, but it is not moving forward. There should be a gag order for SCO at this point here in the US.

I guess a timely solution isn't what we are good at (which I should have learned from the two DoJ cases against Microsoft).
