SCO Has "Made No Decision" On Linux IP Claims

Posted by timothy on Monday January 13, 2003 @06:52AM from the whoah-nellie dept.

Earlier today, a Slashdot post reported the possibility that SCO would attempt to collect royalty payments for intellectual property that SCO (according to that story) claims would make other Linux vendors liable to the tune of nearly $100 per Linux-running CPU. This report on NewsForge reports that SCO has issued a statement "disputing the claims in the story, but confirming that it does have significant asset claims in Unix IP and it is discussing 'possible strategies.'" Awfully ambiguous on SCO's part; I'd feel better about a straight denial.

Pedo Pete Townshend. CmdrTaco's favorite musician, downloading child pornography off the internet.

Why isn't there an article about it on here yet? You can imagine the Janitors falling over themselves to make excuses for this sick degenerate creature.

Fiddle about. Fiddle about.
