SCO Targets US Government, TiVo

Posted by simoniker on from the latest-salvo-in-demented-cabaret dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to SCO, if you have a TiVo set-top box, or those models of Sharp Zaurus which use Linux, someone now owes them $32, since the company wants money 'for each embedded system using Linux.' SCO also says government agencies must pay up to $699 for each copy of Linux that they use."

    I own a TiVo ... and fuck SCO!
    on a regular basis?
    I hope you didn't catch anything, god knows who SCO has been sleeping with.

    SCO's been working to dick more people than Mike Tyson at a beauty pageant. Next year they'll be extorting licensing fees for anyone with an STD because "it all originated with SCO".

    Holy crap, now I realize why homosexuality is such a big deal in the liberal/conservation scheme of politics. It seems to overcomplicate too many scenarios.

    I realize my bigotry and have already apologized in a previous post. But, you can never be sorry one too many times.

    I hope the mods don't mark this as redundant.
