SCO vs Linux.. Continued

An anonymous reader writes "ComputerWorld has an interview with Chris Sontag, from SCO. Now the story has a pretty face." The interview has a variety of comments worth noting like how much source code SCO thinks has slipped from unix to linux. This story continues to amaze me.

    My dear "dAzED1", I was merely clarifying the fact that Microsoft (or, as you put it, 'M$') has been involved in bringing this to the NT platform for more than a couple of months. You'll notice I didn't attempt to counter the OP's point that 'M$' is somehow involved in an evil conspiracy against Linux - just that the idea of adding a UNIX-like environment that runs on top of Windows has been around for quite a while.

    I personally don't agree with that little conspiracy theory, but that's just me. You'll notice I also didn't voice that in my original reply.

    Or, so that you can become somewhat informed on your own

    Now, as far as your touching words of dispair with regards to the mod points accrued by what I posted - fuck you. Your inane drivel about that Interix (or whatever it's being called this week) is or isn't is higly irrelevant to what I posted in any case. So do me a favor and choose your fights more wisely, k?

    Thinking of it like stolen property.... The Courts usually don't agree with you when you claim that you didn't know the TV you sold was stolen property...Following this, once you take posession of it you need to make sure it isn't stolen before you start selling it as 'your' distro under the GPL.
