One Company's Response to SCO

Great_Jehovah writes "The CIO of Just Sports USA received an extortion letter from SCO, started a thread about it on the pgsql-general and then posted his response letter after weighing the various pieces of advice and info he received. Here's hoping that most of SCO's intended victims do the same." An anonymous reader submits a story in a Utah paper about SCO: "The Salt Lake City Weekly paper is running a front page article on the SCO shenanigans. The reporter interviewed Darl, Linus, Bruce Perens and others for the article with new choice quotes from them all." Also, IBM at Linuxworld claims it will win against SCO (miscellaneous plug: CmdrTaco will be speaking at Linuxworld later today).

vaporware

[heitikender]

Now when I think about it, isn't the greatest vaporware of 2003 the "millions" or "thousands" lines of SCO code in Linux?
And they didn't put it on presale order to get money from users, they started right away with licensing. New heights in vaporware competition.

Very well stated.

Done in Europe

[nuggz]

I think some groups have accomplished this in Europe (Germany?).

I thought Redhat was trying to do this now in the US.

In Soviet Russia, they would also have been fined, jailed, and sent to a state sponsered "pound me in the a**" gulug in Siberia. :P
