SCO Backing Off Linux Invoice Plan

Posted by simoniker on from the step-slowly-away-from-the-paper dept.

rocketjam writes "CNet is reporting that the SCO Group is backing off plans to send invoices to corporate users in an effort to generate more takers of their Linux licensing plan. A spokesman said SCO executives were happy with current progress in the licensing program, and didn't feel they needed to send out invoices yet. SCO also extended the 'introductory' licensing price to the end of October, at which point the amount they are asking will double. Despite SCO's threats, 84 per cent of CIOs in a recent survey said it hasn't affected their plans to implement Linux."

    Actually, the number seems pretty low to me, since 100% of CIO's are mouth-breathing troglodytes who would probably be stuck in the shower forever if they ever bothered to read the instructions on their shampoo bottles.

    Hell if the President and chimp in charge could get away with lying here what makes you think a corporation can't.

    The "rinse and repeat" means you rinse, and then repeat the procedure once. It doesn't tell you to repeat reading the instructions, leading to an endless loop. Only a moron like you would think otherwise.
