CD Duplicator Refuses Linux Job, Citing MS Contract

Jonathon writes "Seems a Microsoft imposed restraint of trade agreement and concerns about the SCO suit have prevented a New Zealand company duplicating 500 CDs for our upcoming installfest. The installfest was mentioned on /. just days ago."

    " It's not even a story because 'some company is allowing MS monopolistic tactics to compromise various business deals, including, but probably not limited to, the Linux OS.'"

    I think it's a story of spreading SCO-FUD to NewZealand, after getting kicked by LinuxTag in Germany. Since the SCO case is gonna take months before anything further happens, FUD is being spread around at prospective Linux newbies. This monopoly stuff is ir-relevant and im-material.
