SCO Seeks Licenses Down Under

Posted by timothy on from the whatcha-eatin'-under-there dept.

WildCode writes "SCO is now targeting Aussies in its continuing Linux licence saga. According to the story, one Aussie organization has already signed up for the licence. The ACCC has no comment at this time but this certainly puts a twist on things as the ACCC were waiting for the results of the lawsuits in the U.S. before making any judgement. Personally I think its time for the ACCC to say to SCO 'wait for the U.S outcomes before taking action here.'" An anonymous reader points to another story at internetnews.com.

    I'm at work.

    What a bloody hangover.

    My hands are shaking.

    I am probably working only at about 10% of my maximum capacity.

    Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career.

    Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers.

    Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home.

    Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics.

    Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows,stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrasment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself.

    Choose your future. Choose life.

    But why would I want to do a thing like that ? I Choose not to Choose life.

    Not in the UK it isn't. Webster got it wrong and now the rest of the English speaking world has to put up with you yanks complaining whenever things are spelt properly. Pathetic behaviour!
