HP Offers Linux Purchasers Indemnification

Posted by timothy on from the at-least-on-paper dept.

PnViking writes points out this story in the Detroit News, writing "HP is now covering any claims from SCO if you bought Linux and have a support contract from them: '"We will provide full indemnity across the entire suite for any SCO-related action," said Martin Fink, HP's vice president of Linux. "If (customers) were to get sued by SCO, we would take over their defense and assume liability on their behalf."'" The catch is, you have to be running it on HP equipment ;)

    You pretty much have to assume he did. It's obvious BillG made a deal with the devil. Hell, it's obvious a lot of people have:

    Bruce Willis
    Carrot Top
    Dubya
    Kathrine Harris
    Eminem
    Downtown Julie Brown
    Kevin Cosner
    Michael Stipe
    etc.

    And the Devil totally hooks you up man. You should see my lawn.
