Linus Speaks Out, Calls SCO 'Cornered Rat'

dexterpexter writes "In an interview with Business Week, Linux founder and guardian Linus Torvalds had, in his usual brand of blunt humor, the following to say about SCO: 'They're a cornered rat, and quite frankly, I think they have rabies to boot. I'd rather not get too close to them,' and 'There are literally several levels of SCO being wrong. And even if we were to live in that alternate universe where SCO would be right, they'd still be wrong.'" In the same issue, there's also an interview with Darl McBride where he admits that the company was failing and the Linux-related lawsuits were a last-ditch effort to prevent bankruptcy.

    No, the "OSS Community" posts senseless and moronic rants on slashdot, calls your CEO a "big fag" and relaunches an old virus (of course they dont write their own, they just clone an existing one) to DDoS your web page.

    Linux' place in business has been knocked back, not because of SCO's actions, but because of the communities immature and asinine reactions.
