SCO Identifies EV1Servers as Linux Licensee

Posted by simoniker on from the importance-of-being-licensed dept.

jasonhamilton writes "EV1Servers.net has been identified as a Linux licensee, giving them the dubious title of being the first dedicated hosting company to have a licence agreement with SCO. Rather than 'eliminating uncertainty from our clients' hosting infrastructure', as Robert Marsh (CEO of EV1Servers) claims, some users of EV1 appear to be somewhat upset."

    Companies that do shit like this are completely worthless. Watch those fucks go down the drain with yesterdays turds now. Who, in their right mind would make such a stupid decision? I'll tell you who, frightened people. They made this decision completely with C.Y.A. in mind. They didn't do it to assuage their customer's concerns, they did it to protect themselves, even though the whole SCO thing is a straw man. Stupid fucks deserve what they get and that will be a quick trip to bankrupt city.

    Darl McBride is a fucker, and I personally challenge him to TRY and sue me you asshole. You are a liar. You are a coward. You are involved in criminal activity. You are an ugly bastard. You are completely corrupt and dispicable. And I can't wait until you get your come uppance. You stupid illegitmate fuckhole.

    Uh, how is this extortion? SCO claims to own IP in Linux and is asking for money to license this IP. Companies are coming forward and licensing it. Oh yeah, and these guys aren't the first licensees either. The other ones are asking to remain anonymous.

    So they paid SCO's mobsters. Disgusting, yes, but I see it as insurance... like having a plan for a second backup generator in case the fail-proof first backup generator fails. The chances of SCO prevailing are slim, but non-zero... just like the chances of the backup generator failing.

    If you paid off every bully even if the chances where close to zero of anything happening, what does that make you? If this is how EV1 spends their money, I'd hate to be a stock holder.

    By the way Robert, I don't know you and you don't know me, and there is a slim chance in hell that I'll be able to find out where you live. But I might, you know. So, based on your policy of paying off bullies, please send me $1000, and maybe I will not find you and take a dump on your front lawn. But then again, maybe I will... Pleas send the money soon...

    You fags do everything on principle, even if it means shooting yourself in the foot. Go find a new host, but shut the fuck up about it. Nobody in the real world cares.
