IBM Responds To SCO: Business As Usual
Newsforge is running a statement from IBM on its decision not to bow to SCO's demand that they stop shipping AIX. In a statement this short, there's not much room for weaselly language, but the even-shorter version is this: "IBM's Unix license is irrevocable, perpetual and fully paid up. It cannot be terminated."
Ya know i could eat up years worth of mod points on SCO stories alone, and that would be moddin posts up alone.
This whoel thign is like watching a slow motion train wreck. you just cant turn away. (except those who have:)
I fully expect to be off topic, dont feel bad about doing it:)

Lucky you! That Sourceforge site/article crashes my Firebird (0.6) browser!
I have the image of Ben Affleck's head exploding from the end of the film Dogma.
Thanks a lot. I was going to see that tonight.
How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life
Knowing that Ben Affleck's head explodes shouldn't preclude you from seeing it. In fact, it should encourage you... :)

Well a modding down for asking the question is allright with me. Your question clutters up the thread and doesn't really add anything to the discussion at all, (sort of like this post). A google search for "FUD" returns a very good selection of hits. The very first link would've answered your question and saved us all a tiny bit of bandwidth. You could have saved yourself some time as well as you would have found the answer right away, instead of waiting for someone to answer your simple query. I'm sure you've heard of google, it's how you find out answers to simple little questions like "Does SCO have any ties to MS?", or "Who is this Big Blue you refer to?". What I find hard to believe is that you never heard of FUD before as I've seen your posts around here as long as I've been a member, (I think). 42, IANAL, Stephen King is dead, *BSD is dying.
Anti-social? My code is just platform-specific.
Why is everyone making this out to be some kind of wrestling match? You all sound like kids in the playground saying "OOHHhh, I'm the Hulkster! Die Bitch!"
Maybe you're all just losers.
i'm amazed that i survived - an airbag saved my life.

At least I know how to log in Mr. Anonymous.
"The moderation was fair, and it stands."
No it isn't and it didn't. Go look at my score. (of course now I'm inviting retribution. Oh well.)
" so you don't make the same ill-witted mistakes in the future."
Asking a question is never a mistake.
"Derp de derp."
Um, that would be Saudi Arabia. Look, whatever your opinion on the Iraq war, the claim that it was about oil is ridiculous. If we wanted their oil, we would have lifted the sanctions and bought it, which would have been much cheaper than military action.
How to solve most of our problems: 1.Lots of nuclear plants. 2.Cure aging.
