SCO Sues IBM for One Billion Dollars |
| The SCO Group (formerly Caldera International) used to enter news headlines with great product releases and active Linux development, but sadly, those happy days are gone. As the news of SCO suing IBM emerges (see News.com and Forbes), it is clear that SCO is more interested in making money out of courtroom battles than from software development. Eric S. Raymond: "Make no mistake: this is a strike at the heart of our community. Conceivably we could live without IBM, but we can't live with the fear that any possible ally we might have in the future would get sued by whatever gang of desperate schlemiels holds the old paperwork from AT&T this week. Please support IBM in fighting off this lawsuit. It's important for the future." This is the rest of Eric S. Raymond's open letter to the Linux community. Other links of interest: Slashdot discussion, PCLinuxOnline calls for boycott of SCO, ZDNet and TheRegister reports. Interesting times ahead...
