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.

    At the risk of being modded down myself... Any discussion of Moderation in a thread not that's not explicitly about Moderation should be modded "Off Topic".

    Abuses are supposed to be handled by Meta-Moderation, not discussion.

    But thanks to you're worried about being modded down yourself. Under your theory ALL posts with your sig "Careful! Don't mod me up because you think I'm Jordan Hubbard [slashdot.org]. I'm not he!" would be modded off topic.

    When meta-moderating, i find it very useful if someone replies to say "why is parent modded foo, cause XYZ", gives me extra information to consider when meta-modding.

    I tried myself to expand on the parent's point, to try drag it back on-topic.

    Good point! I'm sick of that sig now anyway and this is a good reason to remove it.
