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."

Dear Darl,

I am speechless. I have so many thoughts wizzing through my head that I want to express, that my brain just locked up.

I'm sure that Darl gets a nice Gates pat on the back every once and awhile...good job, keep that uncertainty and doubt coming...Windows Server 2003 is selling like hotcakes. I won't be intimidated by some CEO's threats.

Welcome to capitalism...

Oh... this isn't just the computer industry... it is the case EVERYWHERE... companies sueing each other... people suing each other for the slightest thing... governments suing themselves (different departments)...
