SCO Threatens Red Hat and SuSE

Guy Smith writes "CRN reports that SCO will target SuSE and Red Hat with lawsuits after they are finished with IBM (providing that IBM allows them live). To quote Sco, "There will be a day of reckoning for Red Hat and SuSE when this is done." They seem bent on destroying the Open Source community and they deserve to hear the community's opinion on the matter."

SCO must burn

[sciwhiz007]

That's it. SCO is now at the top of my hitlist. Come on people. They are waging war on the open-source community itself. It's clear that they don't care if Linux lives on or dies. They clearly said, "Linux comes from Unix and we own the Unix operating system". Its evident that they don't care about Linux, and think that since it comes from UNIX, they don't care if it lives or dies as long as they get their precious royalties. This is war! We can't let this go!

Good Grief

You people are nuckin futz. The article is about SCO suing IBM and the first freakin' comments all contain some reference to Microsoft. I love Slashdot, really, but this ongoing obsession with the evils of a rather mundanely evil corporation is in itself dogmatic and, truthfully, weird. You people all need to find girlfriends, or get hobbies or do something else besides worry about the nefarious doings of a software corporation. And this is coming from someone that uses FreeBSD on the desktop at home. Let the alternatives speak for themselves. If BSD or Linux are better then great, use them, but don't turn every damned discussion about software into an excuse to worry about WHAT MICROSOFT MIGHT DO NEXT. Jeez, people.
