SCO "Disappointed" by Red Hat Lawsuit

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday August 5, 2003 @03:22AM from the everybody-feel-bad dept.

schmidt349 writes "SCO has issued a preliminary response to Red Hat's lawsuit, in which President and CEO Darl McBride advises that SCO will prepare a "legal response" to Red Hat's requests for injunctive relief. In addition, he promises that the countersuit that SCO will file may include "counterclaims for copyright infringement and conspiracy." His final statement-- that Red Hat's "decision to file legal action does not seem conducive to the long-term survivability of Linux--" is chilling in light of the business strategy that SCO has adopted in its sales of UnixWare licenses to actual and potential users of the Linux kernel."

I don't seem to remember SCO giving IBM much of a chance for "good faith discussions"

Actually, I thought the whole point of the
lawsuit was that they had been trying to negotiate
with IBM, but the negotiations brokedown.

Or maybe I'm getting confused with the Martha Stewart. Both scales rank about equally on the Yawn Scale.
