SCO: FSF Reply To GPL Claims, Conference Sponsors Back Off?
bkuhn writes "Last week's Wall Street Journal (and other news outlets) carried statements by SCO's Mark Heise challenging the "legality" of FSF's GPL.
FSF has
issued a response to this baseless claim." Also, mcgroarty points out that Intel and HP seem to be backing swiftly away from their sponsorship of SCO's in-progress Las Vegas conference (a EWeek article suggests that "Intel Corp. was recently billed as one of the lead sponsors of SCO's Forum 2003 conference here this week, but then suddenly disappeared from all marketing and press material for the forum. It appears that Hewlett-Packard Co. also got cold feet. As late as last week, SCO was telling attendees that HP would be giving a partner keynote at the forum on Tuesday morning. But on Sunday the schedule of events given to attendees when they registered makes no mention of an HP keynote...") M adds: Now we've got a few stories from the conference: News.com.com and Eweek. Despite some bad headline writing at News.com, SCO simply continues to employ the Chewbacca defense, showing no code to back up their claims. Amusingly, Darl McBride started his rant about copyright infringement by copying some footage from a James Bond movie. Bravo!
she plans to "ship as many American IT jobs overseas as possible."
At least she plans to further her company through legitimate means, rather than baseless legal claims, lies, and deception. I also don't see what's wrong with getting the most for your money. Sounds like a good plan for any business.
I've had enough abrasive sigs. Kittens are cute and fuzzy.
Well, he is in Utah. He's gotta have more houses for his wives and multitudes of children.
Then he shouldn't be marked as Insightful. It should be humor.

It's neither, and the mods should be shot again.
Then move to India, buy cheap products, start forming unions, make the standard of living rise, make salaries and prices go up until it's on par with the G7, then move home. Contrary to what dubya tells you, you have no God-given right to make more money, buy more stuff, etc. than the rest of the world. When the WORLD'S minimum wage problem is sorted out, then you can start whining about fair.
And don't give me any of that America innovates bullshit. The lionshre of America's innovation is coming from all the foreign grad students it hasn't labeled terrorists, who then start businesses, etc.
