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.

    Because his aptitude for alienating countries appears to have infected SCO...

    Their greed borders on the suicidal. I mean, they have already bitten off FAR MORE than they could ever chew and are beginning to feel backlash from the courts; so what do they do, they start fomenting trouble in the South Land... Idiots.

    Slashdot should stop using Linux.

    Most of us here are using Windows.

      You're using a pirated copy of Windows. I'm using a fully-licenced copy of Linux.

      Which one of us is the cunt?

  4. Publicity Stunt By Linux Geeks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    Honestly, this is all bullshit. We know that this was publicity stunt by the Linux Geeks to get more airtime on the news. I bet they are secretly funding SCO. How do you explain SCO not going bust when it should've done so many years ago.

    Sad to see Microsoft falling for this trick and giving money to SCO. This will only fuel the geek arguments.

    These geeks have no life. They spend all day and all night compiling Linux kernels, watching sci-fi, reading LOTR cover to cover and fantasizing about Natalie Portman naked and Petrified. This whole SCO thing made the world look at the geeks in a different light. Now they are seen as "defenders" of some faith or whatever. These geeks really need to find some women and get laid. That will solve all these problems once and for all.

    I know I will get modded -2 for this. Slashdot is all about Linux herdthink. I know they hate reality and truth. Because the truth is, the Geeks live in their dream world where Linux reigns supreme. Well guess what dudes!

    I had a choice: Linux or Life. I chose Life.

    How DO you manage to be so consistently un-funny, ObviousGuy? I could have sworn you're from Anti-Slash (and going a bang-up job!)
