SCO "Disappointed" by Red Hat Lawsuit
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."
Red Hat obviously is intent on destroying Linux, How can we have a legal Linux to buy if Red Hat is going to pulling this crap?
cry me a river
oh, and stock up on the anal-ez. within 3 years time, i predict you will be big blue's toss-around bitch
argh
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.
If SCO is right, and produces a smoking gun in court.
Lets say in the form of an IBM whistleblower who testifies directly to the fact that they knowingly leaked SCO code into linux to drive them out of existence. They come up with copies of memos that state in black and white to release SCO code.
You think IBM is above that? It's quite possible, hell with IBM even probable. These guys have a track record that makes MSFT look like born again christians.
So then what do the rabid linux zealots do?
License linux? Roll back the code, and exclude all current kernel hackers from contributing because they've eaten of the poisoned fruit? Screw it and convert en masse to BSD or HURD zealots?
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Thank goodness I am running Windows... look at all the legal troubles Linux has!
Check SCO's stock graph for the past 6 months and you will see the truth. The stock market is ALWAYS right - by definition. Whiney little bitches on a computer nerd website are NOT. Who should I believe, teams of informed and intelligent analysts who get paid to break down big business for the billionaire clients, or some geek in his mom's basement amped up on mountain dew? Please.
when will someone finally kill that Darl McBride bastard and his cronies ? Would save the world a lot of time and money.
And while they're at it, please do a Columbine in MS headquarters as well. They have held back innovation long enough.
