IBM Responds To SCO: Business As Usual

Posted by timothy on from the long-walk-short-plank dept.

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."

    And, this link appeared multiple times in the last thread about SCO. So that's a semi-dupe.

    IBM is already using the expression FUD in the original statement. A legalese-to-nerdish translation is really not necessary...
