SCO Says They'll Sue A Linux User Tomorrow

Posted by timothy on from the good-cons-take-gusto dept.

Xenographic writes "InfoWorld is reporting that SCO intends to sue a Linux using company. Ordinarily, this would not be newsworthy, as they have not followed through on past threats. However, this time, they have given themselves a concrete deadline--tomorrow. While they claim that it will be one of the "top 1,000" companies, they apparently have yet to decide which company to actually sue. Perhaps they need more practice playing darts?"

    They are like a child desperate for attention. It's pathetic how far they go. But oddly amusing as well.

    Mix the failings of Usenet with the shortcomings of the World Wide Web and the result is slashdot.
  4. How can they claim ownership of Linux? by bobblebob · · Score: 0, Redundant

    What I don't get is, even if SCO code is in Linux and say it is 1% of the kernel code, how can they claim ownership of Linux? How dare they claim to own it when so many people have put so much passion and time into it! Darl McBride you should be ashamed of your self.

    SCO Says They'll Bite the Head Off A Hamster Tomorrow

    from the couldn't-make-their-image-any-worse dept.
    Bob writes "SCO intends to bite the head off a Hamster. Ordinarily, this would not be newsworthy, as they have repeatedly made similar threats, but have not followed through in the past. However, this time, they have given themselves a concrete deadline--tomorrow. While they claim that it will be a "live" hamster, and that the biting will be televised, they apparently have yet to decide which SCO representative will actually be doing the biting, Darl McBride, Chris Sontag, or someone else. IBM has countered that this sort of stunt is not actually admissable as evidence in most courts.
