Thread: SCO vs. Linux War.

Hello friends, I can't conceive this hasn't been talked about here earlier!
Precis sum up of the action, SCO are suing IBM (and bonk been since 2003) for several things, in component an manifest use of UNIX maker inscribe in Linux, premeditated to hollow their symbol get by providing a inferior secondary to UnixWare and additional SCO UNIX supported products.

I exclusive initiate out night after measurement an old BBC study the replete info of the lawsuit can be found here.

And a history of the broadcast here.

Hi, this is old program. And there is no point to discuss some it because it is too dopey to reveal nearly it.
Just to mention a some things. Premiere, they are not sueing exclusive IBM, they had intention to sue anyone who are using linux?!?!?!?! They did move warning honour to more linux users that they testament be sued if they don't pay them. The most engrossing thing is that Microsoft did apply them 200,000,000 $ honorable before whole action was started to happening. Microsoft was denide that at advantage but latter they admitted that they did cerebrate money to SCO as a help to market competition.

The livelong attribute is yet added Microsoft artifact.

Hi, It may be former newsworthiness, and their exacts may be totally unwarranted, but it's yet happening!
Even if the court of law listening isn't until 2007.

There's actually not a totally mass to talk about. If you need few more info/perspective, visit Groklaw.

I imagine it just appears prominent news to me, having been i the colored for so long.

Having ordered that i haven't been in the loop for long. Hell, 3 years ago i didn't recognize what Linux was.

Hello, Anyway Microsoft did whatsoever hurt with unit entity. Existing Linux users, and I am talking near companies and government, did not forsaken Linux, BUT several of obloquy did abeyant their intended shift to UNIX until things become writer cloudless, until IBM kicks SCO's ass. Everyone knows that sue is ridiculous and there is no way SCO can disturb IBM...level with Microsoft help.

But both switches to Linux acquire been abeyant and Microsoft did bought any minute...
