SCO's Next Target: SGI?

Posted by michael on from the we-know-you-missed-your-dose-of-SCO dept.

FatRatBastard writes "ZDNet News is speculating that SCO's next target in its legal actions against Linux may be SGI. According to the article its legal strategy will be to claim that XFS is a Unix derivative and therefore under SCO control, much like they claim JFS is in their suit with IBM. One fact not mentioned in the article that would support SGI being the next target is the malloc code they claimed was infringing at this years SCOForum was copyrighted SGI."

    But a lawsuit is not the only avenue open to SCO: The company has shown a recent preference for more moderate courses of action, such as sending invoices to Linux users rather than taking them to court.

    I for one cannot wait for the invoice to arrive from SCO and figure they are doing this because of the better drugs available in Utah because if they were still in Santa Cruz and given the easy availability of hallucinagins in that part of the world. There must be better drugs available in Utah.
