Germany Muzzles SCO

Posted by Hemos on from the one-step-closer dept.

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.

    Is to fine Slashdot 10,000 Euros everytime they post a SCO story instead of real news. Really we all are sick of it.

    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.

    Ya like getting rid of the jews... those germans are always on the right track. If only we could take their example and follow it. Seriously though, just because they are handling this situation the way we (americans) ought to does not make them the standard.
