OSI vs SCO
the jackol writes "As expected, the OSI's just given the SCO vs IBM case a bite with this position paper. "SCO has never owned the UNIX trademark. IBM neither requested nor required SCO's permission to call their AIX offering a Unix. That decision lies not with the accidental owner of the historical Bell Labs source code, but with the Open Group.""
IBM neither requested nor required SCO's permission to call their AIX offering a Unix.
Big whoop. Yet another pointless, posturing remark from a paper of dubious value.
If you have a knowledge of Unix history, read the paper with a critical eye, and do a little research, its not hard to find errors, omissions, overstatements, and what appear to be some dubious legal claims.
I think that the Linux community is going to be very disappointed if it is relying upon this paper for its views.

The dangers of knowledge trigger emotional distress in human beings.

does that mean that Ford is at fault for all the bad drivers on the road?
I know that you are just a troll, but some of the newbies here will read you and actually believe your tripe.
Linux = success if you have skilled and capable people behind it... Windows expierience = nothing in the Linux world as you need REAL TCP/IP skills REAL Netowrk skills and REAL computer skills. something that no MS certification delivers or shows.
you failed because you assumed and did not have the skills to do the job (and after reading it I strongly suspect any project management skills you have..)
Do not look at laser with remaining good eye.
SCO is a souless puppet whoose strings are being manipulated by the heartless tyrant known as MicroSoft. They deserve the full fury of the opensource community that will be unleashed upon them in the next few months.
Slashdot taught me how to use the preview button!
After he became famous by stealing the Jargon File and publishing it for his own benefit, he's moved on to writing fluffy, irrelevant, legally moot junk in an attempt to deprive SCO of any of its legal rights to the intellectual property it owns.
"HAHAHAHHAHA!!!!"
If you're a consultant, then you're easily the stupidest person that I've ever seen.
"...NET Framework at the kernel level."
HAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!
