SCO Lobbying Congress Against Open Code

Posted by timothy on Wednesday January 21, 2004 @11:14AM from the da-da-approach-to-business dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Along with suing Novell - it was announced today that SCO has been lobbying Congress about the horrifying ways that Linux and the rest of open source software saves users money, allows others to use the software anyway they see fit and 'gasp' causes SCO to not make as much money as they would like. Along with all of the usual FUD. OSAIA has the details (as well as a rebuke)." Darl's words will seem pretty transparent, even funny, to anyone aware of the widespread acceptance and use of Free / Open Source software (by individuals, governments, non-profits, and even companies like SCO) -- but you might have to point this out to your servants in Congress.

SCO is soooo not even relavent anymore.

I think we should launch them into space. W wants to send folks to Mars, I vote that they should get the first ticket, so long as we don't send any food.
