ACCC Asks SCO To Explain Themselves
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..."

What's Australia?
Obviously you've never been charged by a rampaging band of knot-wielding Ukrainian Boy Scouts!
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
Prof. Alan Fels may have retired, but the ACCC still don't take any prisoners ... hammer the bastards I say!
Now that it something that I would pay to see on PPV.

I'm not a vain man, and even *I* would never admit to getting my ass kicked by a smelf.

Congratulations on a near perfect troll
the Germans and Australians have done something
No, you're thinking Austria. Australia is between the Pacific and Indian Oceans - just under Indonesia. Nothing to do with Germany.
No one tell your President though, we're seriously expecting him to touch down in Austria later this month on his whirlwind visit to Thank Prime Minister John "Major" for his help in that illegal invasion a few months back.
Get the Hell off my planet, you slimy mobster Bush!
Certainly hope we CAN convince him to go to Austria instead - although if he does come through, I'm looking forward to trying to issue him with a subpoena. And you too Mugabe!
When the real person to blame is Paul Keating pulled out of the openskys agreement between New Zealand and Australia. Air New Zealand tried to enter into the Australian market, they were told that they had to purchase Ansett or otherwise sod off.
Air New Zealand bought Ansett thinking that they could run it properly, what they found out is that the company had already been run into the ground, Australia is over run by militant unions meaning that ANY resutructuring they tried in the 12 months or so they owned it basically was stopped by the union.
Btw, the assertion by Unions that Air New Zealand had invested no money into Ansett, incorrect. I know of atleast 7 programmers who were working on a completely news, integrated system to replace the old one. There was also browsing done by Air New Zealand for new planes to replace the aging Ansett fleet.
If you want someone to blame for Ansetts collapse, blame the Unions and the Australian government. UNLIKE Australia, the New Zealand government DOESN'T give hand outs to companies, Air New Zealand UNLIKE QUANTAS, actually HAVE TO COMPETE for public service contracts.
Australia on the other hand simply hand out contracts to QUANTAS with out ANY competitive bids and worse still, its the public who is paying for this via higher taxes. Can any of you say, "corporate welfare"?
