spafbnerf writes "Everyone Internet's CEO Robert Marsh, when asked his feelings about the SCO deal almost a month ago responds: 'Would I do it again? No. I'll go on the record as saying that,' Marsh said. 'I certainly know a lot more today than I knew a month ago, in a lot of respects.'"

    generally hindsight is 20-20

    If the mafia shows up in your town and everyone else refuses to pay for their "protection", and one business does, they are your enemy. Hindsight doesn't mean anything in this case. EV1 screwed up and choose the wrong side. Anybody who cares about open source needs to make an example of them for their bad judgement and not do any business with EV1. It's a necessity in order to clearly delineate what we feel is right and wrong. Cowards who give aid to the IP Nazis are no better than the IP Nazis themselves.

    We cannot condone their actions, no matter how much their people grovel and admit their mistakes. You can bet if the community didn't boycott them, they wouldn't even be waffling like this. Serves 'em right. EV1 is history. Maybe the next provider will think twice about turning their back on the community that helped make them.

    If he doesn't want us to think of him as a big pansy, he needs to not only say it was a mistake, but to break the contract, sue SCO, and actually have some balls. Not pay the extortion and then say "oh, woe is me."

    Oh, I just love Anonymous Cowards who provide advice on how to run large companies. How old are you? 14? 15? I'll certainly put money on the fact that you've never managed anything in your life. Run a company. Or a department. Or a lemonade stand for a day. Learn some economic realities. Then come back with your 'insightful' comments. They paid the license fee. They realised it was a mistake. They owned up to that mistake. Sure, it would be nice if they hadn't made the mistake in the first place, but they did. Now they'll get on with the business of running their business.

    If you really regret dealing with SCO, than do the right thing, report yourselfe to the DA under tha laws of RICO and try to get a criminal prosecutio going, and SUE SCO for 3 times the amount you paid them plus leagal fees for fraud. ( and id bet SCO will settle out of court)
    otherwise shut the fuck up and take your assfuck like a man.
