my first reaction to this was similar to most people here, that this guy is just looking for publicity and why punish the good engineers at yahoo for this.
However, I do remember the SCO fiasco http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO-Linux_controversies . The feeling I got from the tech community was that SCO engineers were certainly black listed from alot of jobs at other tech companies.
I guess it's worth exploring what makes Yahoo and SCO different.
I sat in on an interview for a at that time current SCO Engineer. He told us about his current projects like getting Firefox running on their Unix platform. None of us wanted to work with him even though he had the skills we were looking for.
