New Survey Finds No Linux 'Chill' From SCO Suit

daddywonka writes "According to this article at internetnews.com, an upcoming survey from the Robert Frances Group shows that 'cost-savings and the General Public License, or GPL, are trumping any concerns about SCO Group's claim of copyright infringement within parts of Linux.' The survey only covers 15 companies. That doesn't seem very reassuring to me. Do any slashdotters have experience with their companies pulling the plug on Linux projects due to the SCO trial or is it business as usual?"

Consider the alternative...

In many cases, the alternative to Linux is Microsoft (or the other way around). Which is the bigger threat: BSA audit or SCO legal victory? One of these is current reality, the other is about as likely as me getting hit by lightning in the next 10 minutes. One of these organizations has collected lots of money from its customer/victims, the other talks about collecting lots of money.

"Gee, I dunno, maybe we ought to put all this Linux stuff on hold" Yeah, right.

Yeah, but somebody dinged me for being off topic anyway. Now does that mean they disagreed with what I said or they really thought the post was off topic?

There is an interesting recursion in your post. So predicting that you will get modded down means your karma isn't affecting by the moderation, eh? HeHeHeHe.
