ACCC Asks SCO To Explain Themselves

Posted by simoniker on from the blimey dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) governmental organization has issued a request to SCO to provide information regarding complaints filed with it, according to The Age. This deals with issues regarding SCO's IP claims, and statements regarding the need for commercial Linux users to obtain a Unix licence. With any luck, that'll be Slashdot's daily dose of SCO news..."

    No, with any luck there will be another story today about the SEC suspending trading of SCOX and the FBI carting Canopy Group's board and execs off to jail.

      no... that wouldn't just be "any" luck... that would be poetic justice at its finest.

    Let's see how many /.-isms I can throw into a single sentence:

    The SCOmbag behind this fiaSCO, $CO is SCOspiciously silent when people say, "show me the SCOurce"!

    How's that? What did I miss?

  3. SCO's answer by segment · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well you see Mr. Crocodile Hunter, Sir, the problem
    all started when developers started using the
    following snippets of code:

    main()
    {alarm(10);sleep(5);write(1," something",12);exit(0);}

    As you can clearly see, the way () is used, is an
    obviously blatant rip-off of the way our patents
    are written. Sure there are open source zealots
    and we love them all, but realistically speaking
    Mr. Dundee your honor, your aboriginee, we feel
    it is unfair for anyone to use main() without a
    brand new SCO license.

    Thank you your boomerang tossing mate.
