More on SCO vs. IBM Lawsuit

Colin Stanners writes "SCO has held a TeleConference and put up a page with information on their lawsuit against IBM. The key phrase (from their complaint) is: 'It is not possible for Linux to rapidly reach UNIX performance standards for complete enterprise functionality without the misappropriation of UNIX code, methods or concepts to achieve such performance, and coordination by a larger developer, such as IBM.' Their page also includes a Q&A, presentation, and exhibits, although these are mostly licensing agreements and not code." Bruce Perens had an interesting comment on the situation, more than one group is trying to organize a boycott, and Newsforge has a story based on SCO's press conference this morning. Newsforge and Slashdot are both part of OSDN.

why?

more than one group is trying to organize a boycott

The market has been "boycotting" SCO and it's crap for years, not like there needs to be a special effort.

Harsh link!

The lawsuit information found from the SCOSource link is an audio recording - it'll take about 1/10th of a normal /. effect to bring that to its knees!

However it turns out

[Anonymous Coward]

you have to admit that SCO is the better platform for rapping, because SCO rhymes with "fro", "dough", and "blow".

Not to mention the all-important "yo".

You left out the most important one-- "slow."

So?

Ha ha! You beat me to it!

[Praxxus]

How do you boycott a product that nobody is using, anyway?

Does SCO even care that they:

1. Look like big, broke whiny crybabies
2. Are shooting themselves in the feet, knees, hips, spines, etc. and can kiss any business (save for the Rambus business model) goodbye for the rest of their pitiful existence??

I hope IBM bitchslaps them. Litigiously speaking, of course.
