SCO Approaches Google About Linux Licenses

MSBob writes "Seems that SCO is seriously hinting that their next victim is going to be Google. SCO said that they held what SCO described as "low level talks" with Google executives with regards to licensing SCO's alleged intellectual property within the Linux kernel. The full article is on Forbes.com." The Reuters story is on Yahoo!, too.

What SCOX failed to Mention

[linuxislandsucks]

what SCOX faield to mention is the fact that Google execs in fact rejected SCOX's claims..

The reason you have not heard he rebuttle from Goolge is because of the upcoming quite period per IPO rules..

SCOX stock is about to hit the bottom in less than 20 days

you doubt this? take a look at the difference between the bid and ask.. when that spread gets biug it menas that theere are shorts and puts drivng theprice anot real value..once the judgement against SCOX is made in januaury those players wil have no where to go with their stock..

No. Google is pre-IPO. The normal reaction for an american company under the circumstances is "always settle so that the IPO goes through".

All I can say is that I hope that SCO has forgotten that Google is not by any means an average US company. If it was, it would have long gone belly up.

Google does not use Red Hat (anymore)

Google intially used Red Hat before converting to a house distribution.
