No Business Like SCO Business

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the like-no-business-I-know dept.

The SCO must go on. Informationweek has a roundup. News.com has some analysis of the legal case. SCO reiterates their threat to revoke IBM's license. Reader hobsonchoice sends a blurb: "Also more from analysts who saw SCO/Linux code comparisons under NDA. Bill Claybrook, of Aberdeen Group Inc., says SCO changed their story to him about whether they had any "direct evidence" that IBM copied any System V code into Linux. Laura Didio of Yankee Group has answered some detailed questions about her code review process. Lastly Fujitsu Siemens have joined in the debate: they don't think SCO's case is going anywhere." One observer of the SCO case has compiled some notes about Caldera's active participation in the IA-64 project. And look on the bright side: if you follow the school of thought that all publicity is good publicity, at least this suit has gotten Linux mentioned in many places where it normally wouldn't be.

    Jesus, Michael, we know you probably should be writing for The Onion or the Harvard Lampoon, but what's the deal with the these SCO Headlines?

    No Business Like SCO Business? Is that supposed to tell us anything about the story, or are you just trying to be clever without a point?

    If somebody is skimming the headlines, how can he tell what the fuck the story is at a glance?

    BTW:Before you unleash your -1 overrateds, I am making a direct, ontopic editorial comment.

    If SCO's claims were completely ridiculous, they wouldn't be getting the press they are. As it is, people are _worried_ that SCO is right - that's why /. editors keep posting stories about it. Nobody around here wants to admit that SCO may have a case against IBM, but you know in the back of your mind that it very possibly may be true.

    Face it - in the very near future you may be paying for your Linux licenses. Personally I've switched over to FreeBSD.

    She only sounds like a "bimbo" to you. I wasn't even aware that she was a woman until you pointed it out. Perhaps you've got a little problem with women and technology? It's the 21st century, get with it.
