SCO Awarded UNIX Copyright Regs, McBride Interview
Prizm writes "It seems that SCO is continuing to build up its case for world domination, as today it was awarded U.S. copyright registrations for UNIX System V source code by the U.S. Copyright Office. Shares are up 20%, Novell is nowhere to be found, and SCO is releasing binary, run-only Linux licensing. You can read all about it over in their press release." C|Net is also running an interview with McBride.
you suck, we would like the usualy goatse links and FP!!!!! please
There is no god
As always, links to pictures will be posted.
Down with Socialist Linux. Up with SCO and all it stands for, whatever that is.
I use Windows- that way I don't have to worry about implicitly stealing SCO's IP.
and you are a moron.
Spam SCO's email boxes with ASCII goatse pictures!
Give those trolls something pseudo-productive to do.
X(7): A program for managing terminal windows. See also screen(1).
LOL. The code that was stuffed into your "GPL Legal" linux source code was stolen. You can believe in magic faeries if you want, if that helps rationalize where all the code magically came from.
120 characters is too few to say anything funny with a link in it.
No it's not:

Screw you all and thanks for all the fish.
Its looking like SCO may actually have a shot at winning this one. I say we all move over to FreeBSD. It will take several years for this thing to be all settled and done with, by then linux could be totally abandoned. After years of legal battles SCO will be left owning an operating system nobody uses or develops for.
Everybody already knows that Linux sucks the big one.
Word to my Gay Niggers.
well shit... :-/
Fuck SCO!
My company is using linux and just bought 25 Unixware licenses to keep using linux legally; SCO gave us a 10% cut and other companies are doing the same.
If we knew linux was going to be more expensive than windows 2003...
What if... MICRO$OFT paid SCO to start that legal mumbo-jumbo just to down Linux and spread fear in enterprise????
Anybody go the same feeling?
It is apparent because someone has looked at the code and verified that sections of code are duplicated. This was mentioned on slashdot a week or two ago.
"I'm not impatient. I just hate waiting." - My Dad
My company has 200 linux boxes (school) we plan on moving to windows 2003 because we can't afford having one license per computer. I HATE TORVALDS FOR DOING THAT ONLY MONEY MATTERS TO HIM!
How this all effects (or does not effect) the FreeBSD version of Linux?
A good idea. But it won't happen, because it would require a large number of linux geeks with enough balls to stand up in court and be cross examined. Most of them can't even stand up to their mothers.
Money Managers -- that's an easy way of describing someone that holds the key to the cash registers.
Every Money Manager knows that LinuxLover111@HotMail.com is some stupid purchaser of Linux; be it Caldera OpenLinux 3 or RedHat 8.
All I'm saying is you don't understand the power of the All-Mighty-Hippy; they stink the waterhole pretty bad when they stop using the public shower and idle by
(practically, if you tried to copyright a Harry Potter book or some other well-known text then it would proably not go unnoticed)
There have been harry potter(s) around before Tolkien(R) sent his turd down the Hollywood Fudgcicle of Entertainment. I should know, I'm one of them. Besides working part time in ther potter business, I've taken a liking to being a barber and cosmetologist. I've grown my good length of hair, as well as a nicely trimmed masculine beard, and officialy implied my acceptance into the Hairy Potters of America club. You can't pattent a name like Hairy Potter, we've been around since time began. You can't patent what someone else gave you; God gave us English, thus God owns the patent to Hairy Potter, and America, and Tolkien, and Hollywood Fudgecicle. I am a hairy potter damnit!! I'm verry hairy, an a potter master!
What is with SCO even? Do they think Southern California Orphanage (SCO) is going to steal Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) intelectual property on Unix System V?
Balderdash! Last time I checked, California doesn't even exist, so there possibly can't be any such thing as and SCO because California is realy Mexico. And while I am a Hairy Potter, and not the Hairy Potter, I also suggest that I am obviously an Elvis Presley because I also have a Class A license to drive a Commercial(TM) Truck (Peterbilt) as well as I can shake my hips and comb my dark hair up and uh-huh-im-all-shookered-up-uh-huh.
And another thing, when will we see Microsoft re-organize to MacroSoft. And where is that guy that says he works for MikeSoft I keep hearing about? I heard this guy working for MikeSoft gives his verbal resume over the phone to a secretary he always gets the props because MikeSoft sounds like MicroSoft.
Bob I worked for MikeSoft in charge of their Hardware division and implementation of the pixel on the Vending Machine OEM firmware.
Suzy Secretary Wow, you're hired! We need someone like you [background noise: *whipcrack* "Fire all the Monkies in India, we got Bob! A Bob is capable of anything and everything in the least ammount of time and resources!"]
Hello,
GNU/Hippy here. I'm standing in the California (Republic) territory, not the State of California. I invite SCO to come to my cardboard box house, next to Kinko's Copier. Now, I would use my pennies to make copies of my pennies in the Kinko's Copier store, but I would rather give them to SCO's agent one at a time. I know SCO will have only one agent available to sell everyone one of us Linux Zealots a UnixWare license in order to use Linux: I figure I can sacrifice my piss-poor life by distracting the SCO-collection Agents from everyone else, for a more advanced attack to congregate outside the SCO_Deathstar for a preemptive strike against the UnixWare Empire. But, I have a more inefficient idea. You see, I'm a big fan of McGuyver. I'm such a big fan, I've taken a likening to ol' McG's ways of taking common cardboard-household items and turning them into dangerous weapons. Here, in my cardboard box, I have Pint-sized Milk Carton filled with my life savings of pennies. Now, I could hand them over to the SCO-collections Agency all at once, or hold out by giving them one penny per second. Alongside my collection of pennies, I also have a peice of wood, a rubber band, some nails, a coil of wire, some of them rare_earth_magnets, and intuition. If SCO_collections Agency wants my entire savings of pennies, I'll give SCO my hard-dug savings of pennies using my Rail Gun Penny Launcher(TM); constructed using common cardboard-house items. One penny per second, SCO! Have some!
Ah shit, they took my pennies. Is the SCO_DeathStar Preemtive commencing? Hello? Anyone hear me? Oh God, I just felt a weakening in the force; as if a million spirits were suddenly silenced... IBM, NoooooOOO!
Sincerily,
GNU/Hippy (a Linux Zealot)
