Ransom Love, Caldera Co-Founder Interviewed

rootmon writes "The interview focuses mostly on Ransom Love's views of SCO Group's current dispute with IBM and the Free/Open Source Software Community. It also provides some insights on why Caldera purchased the UNIX business of SCO and their joint Monterey project with IBM. In summary, Love's view is 'My belief is that Unix and Linux should co-exist and should look and feel the same to application developers. Fundamentally, I would not have pursued SCO's path. You see, the challenge is building business. Litigation, no matter what side you're on, tears down businesses. Only the attorneys win. Companies should focus their energies on building their businesses, not on lawsuits. I don't see any positive outcomes.'"

    no publicity is bad publicity

    That only applies to rock stars and other celebrities. When mick jagger goes on a bender, trashes a hotel, and shits himself in the middle of a concert, it makes him look like a bad ass.

    But most investors are smarter than you're average 14 year old rock fan.

    When a CEO of a major corporation does the same thing, it makes the company look like it was run by gay niggers and noone wants anything to do with it.

    Thank you for your letter.

    Put your nigger down. I know that this might feel like a waste, maybe your children has grown fond of the nigger and so on, but things can only get worse from here.

    Put the nigger down. It's best for you, and it's best for the nigger. You might also want to consider building an electric fence around your nigger compound to avoid problems like this in the future.
