More Criticism of SCO's Claims To UNIX

inc_x writes "GROKLAW has a compelling analysis that shows that SCO's claims that it owns the UNIX operating system are not very truthful. The Open Group confirms this position: "Statements that SCO "owns the UNIX operating system" or has "licensed UNIX to XYZ", are clearly inaccurate and misleading." It seems that SCO finds it increasingly difficult to distinguish facts from fiction. Last week SCO claimed 'This IP battle is only one part of SCO's business and is an add-on component. The core of SCO's business is profitable,' not bothered by the fact that they had claimed the opposite in their SEC filing: 'If we do not receive SCOsource licensing revenue in future quarters and our revenue from the sale of our operating system platform products and services continues to decline, we will need to further reduce operating expenses in order to maintain profitability or generate positive cash flow.'"

      Except, slashdot now does multiple topics per article.. So to hide this article you have to block:

      Caldera
      The Courts
      Unix

      Businesses
      Operating Systems
      News

      Might as well block everything and slashdot will be just a blank page.

    Its funny how the media portrays jews as the most understandable and nice people and how they were persecuted so badly during ww2. Yet we see here the jew in all his nature, that of a vulgar, uncouth piece of trash. :) Jews are more racist then neo-nazis and blacks put together and it seems to show every time i open up my IE browser.

    If we could just kill every third lawyer we could rid our culture of 99% of all the total bullshit that passes for justice and the "need" for all new laws. The only time you are safe is when congress is in recess and the only time you will hear the truth is when lawyers have their mouths shut.
