More on SCO vs. IBM Lawsuit · Slashdot Mirror

Posted by michael on Friday March 7, 2003 @06:30AM from the circumstantial-evidence dept.

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.

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

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