Today's SCO News

Posted by michael on from the put-up-or-shut-up dept.

landoltjp writes "SCO (Nasdaq: SCOX) are hosting a teleconference today in order to clear the air (*snort*) regarding "Novell's baseless UNIX ownership assertions" and other bits of hubbub and nonesense that's in the news today. Should be fun." And SCO has apparently been enjoined from making some of its claims by a German court (also here.) Cringely has an editorial on the whole mess.

    The key here, I think, is the Windows emulation technology Microsoft got when it bought Connectix.

    Last time I checked, Connectix' software emulates x86, not windows. But hey, Cringley is a crackhead, after all...

    As per this article:
    And while Torvalds said he agrees with some of the criticisms SCO's actions have triggered on Linux-friendly online forums such as Slashdot, he also called for restraint and maturity in dealing with SCO. "I hope this doesn't incite anybody to (launch a denial-of-service attack against) the SCO Web site or something silly like that," he said.
    I think they mis-quoted Linus, there must have been a *wink* *wink* somewhere at the end of that quote.
