SCO Selective About Linux Licensees

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the big-bills-only dept.

cdunworth writes "According to the IDG news wire, SCO is now telling the vast hoardes of willing new Linux licensees that, unless you are a Fortune 1000 company, you can't buy a Linux license. Not yet. Why the delay? In return for your $699 payment, they don't have to send you anything more than a piece of paper." At least home users of Linux can take solace in knowing that they don't have to pay up yet. It doesn't always pay to have deep pockets.

    Nobody signed a contract here, so the only problem is copyright law, which is protecting code that may be there. Copyright is unnatural and thus should be abolished.

    Fucking farm animals is unnatural too, but you don't seem to have a problem with that. Hypocrite!

    Why bother with Linux and the associated litigational crap? Mac OS X has a better GUI, more applications, runs on faster computers is backed by a company that has shown time after time after time that it can revolutionize the computer industry. BY comparison what does Linux have going for it? A penguin logo. Big fucking whoop. Come on people, Mac OS X is so far ahead of Linux technologically that any comparison is nearly laughable.
