OSDL Releases Q&A on SCO Legal Actions

craigoda writes "OSDL released a Q&A today written by Lawrence Rosen, noted expert on technology and intellectual property law. The Q&A points to serious flaws in SCO's claims that end-users have to pay for Linux licenses." The press release is a little more diplomatic, saying that the document only helps one determine whether or not one should buy a license from SCO.

    I guarantee you that if a power outage happened anywhere OTHER than New York City, the mass media outlets would barely be covering this event at ALL. For example, if this had happened in, say, Seattle-Portland-Vancouver, nobody would raise an eyebrow.

    Right now I am looking at "LIVE" footage on CNN of a few people loitering in the streets and what looks to be traffic as usual. Drudge Report says "CONCERN OF FIRES". Concern? This is drudge report material? Please.

    I am sick of the NYC bias we see in the media. Self-importance is so passe. Please make this story go away, I give CNN and Fox News a big "OFFTOPIC" (To their credit, Fox is now reporting the story that some terrorist mastermind yadda yadda yadda has been capture).

    Lame.

      Here's a tip: the Drudge Report sucks balls. Add 127.0.0.1 to your hosts file as an entry for that site, and don't ever visit it again.
