SCO Now Willfully Violating the GPL

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the this-just-gets-more-interesting dept.

Pogue Mahone writes "According to The Register, SCO is now distributing Linux code under a more restrictive license than the GPL. This is a violation of copyright, since only the GPL gives them any rights to distribute the code. Time for every single developer who has contributed code to the kernel to send a Cease and Desist letter to SCO."

    Kinda like how Americans have been sponsoring overseas terrorism for decades, but go nuts and put stickers everywhere when the World Trade Center gets attacked.

    But to keep it on topic, I think a lot of us such as myself are buying from labels like Nuclear Blast and Century Media that are not affiliated with the RIAA.

    They have got completely out of control. This is like giving legitimacy to the Mafia. Someone really needs to pack the truck with exploding material and drive it the fuck through their front door.
