Lufthansa Systems Chooses Linux

Nice2Cats writes "Remember all of the jokes about operating systems as airlines? Well, Heise is reporting that Linux is just going to take over the computer systems of Germany's airline Lufthansa instead. SuSE and Lufthansa Systems have a joint press release (in German, it should appear here when it comes out in English) out where Karlheinz Natt from Lufthansa Systems gushes (my translation): 'We are registering a steadily increasing demand for Linux-based solutions from our customers.'

    Neither SCO nor any other company has dared to sue anyone for using Linux so far. And never will because end users are never liable even in the very unlikely case there are IP-problems.

    This whole SCO-thing is just so stupid. It's like saying Windows-users are liable to anti-trust laws.

    The whole issue is even more stupid. Because once you turn your brain on, you realize that the risk of a closed source company illegally using freely available OSS code is a lot higher than Linux developers using CSS code which is only available to a tiny number of people. So to any thinking being the whole "OSS may be IP-problematic" thing looks like a shot in the foot by the CSS industry because the reality is reversed.

    But I guess nothing is too stupid for the MS-loving/paid/stock-owning trolls that sprawl around here lately.

    Sorry for the rant, but anybody taking SCO's threats seriously is either a complete moron or has some pro-MSFT interests.
