Caldera/SCO Co-Founder Ransom Love Speaks

Posted by michael on from the still-taking-his-medication-for-the-moment dept.

securitas writes "CNet has published an interview with Caldera (now SCO Group) co-founder Ransom Love, in which he talks about the Novell acquisition of SuSE, Novell's Linux history, the early history of Caldera, the SCO-IBM lawsuit, his new role at Progeny and open standards. It's a good read that covers a lot of ground in a relatively short space."

    "I hired Darl, then realized what a HUGE mistake that was, so I quit SCO and sold my shares and Debian is really cool, thanks guys!"

    "Ransom Love" sounds like what the parents' of 12 year olds are planning when they send their kids to Michael Jackson's for the weekend.

    I think he meant, "They could have 0WN3D Linux."
