SCO Responds to OSDL Legal Aid Announcement

Posted by simoniker on Monday January 12, 2004 @08:59AM from the business-as-usual dept.

Greyfox writes "SCO has issued a response to the earlier OSDL legal aid announcement. Basically the same old story, noting: 'If vendors feel so confident with the intellectual property foundation under their massive contributions into Linux, then they should put their money where their mouth is and protect end users with true vendor-based indemnification.' The release also refers us to their SCOSource web site, which they claim in their announcement shows 'proof' of infringement. I was unable to find any such 'proof' other than their claim that they own errno.h. Since I'm obviously too much of an idiot to find the 'proof' they claim they're showing, maybe someone else could go look and tell me where it is."

Sharp Zaurus 5600 at Amazon by FauWayGTi · 2004-01-12 09:04 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Speaking of SCO and Linux, but maybe a bit off-topic, I found this over at Amazon this afternoon. The Zaurus 5600, regularly $499 is on sale for $299. I don't know if the $200 off is accidental or not, but I bought mine!

Enjoy it while it lasts!

  Rumor has it that Sharp will be releasing an update soon for 5000 style Zaurus's - it will have the same screen as the Zaurus 700 series (640x480 pixels)
  
  Perhaps this is the reason for the discount.

Fact: The parent post is flamebait.

Fact: The poster of the parent post is an Anonymous Coward.

Actually, I think RedHat 9 doesn't let you use errno like that, so it must only be present in IBM linux...
