skyryder12 writes " We have news from Germany. It seems, according to Computerworld, that SCO Group GmbH (SCO's German branch) agreed, on February 18, 2004, to an out-of-court settlement between it and Univention and will refrain from saying in Germany some things it says in the US constantly. There are four things they have agreed not to say in Germany, on pain of a fine of 10,000 euros per offense -- that's about $12,500 USD -- and one thing they can't say unless they present proof within a month of the settlement date.

Yeah, finally! You would have thought RedHat or IBM or AT&T or Novell or SOMEBODY would have stood up by now and said, "maybe these SCO people are being a little disorderly." It's always good that we can rely on the Germans to stand up for what's right.
