SCO's Plan Examined

kevin@ank.com writes "In the best expose I've read since the original Halloween documents, Groklaw has links and analysis of Renaissance Ventures' rationale for investing in The SCO Group. Among other misrepresentations, SCO convinced Ren that SCO owned the root of the entire UNIX tree, and that Linux was just one branch of that tree. Linux gets a SCO tax... forever; or worst case, if Linux gets killed in the process, then so be it. Renaissance also estimated that IBM would have settled with SCO last April under the strength of SCO's claims, and the threat of terminating their UNIX license. Oops."

Could we please, just get the article and not the commentary? The entire idea behind kharma whoring with reproducing the article is to reproduce the /.'d article, not the article mixed with your commentary. I'm trying to get what they are posting not you. Grumble, original article /.'d, grumble.

The UN created the nation of Israel out of good will. Israel has used that nation to suppress a whole people - including building a second "Berlin wall" at the moment.

I would condemn _any_ nation doing what Israel is doing - and as long as the US is doing nothing but patting Israel on its head I'll do what I can to raise people's awareness of this.
