BayStar Sets Lawyers on SCO

myster0n writes "According to The Register: 'SCO's attempts to rescue its relationship with BayStar, its biggest backer, have come to naught. On Friday morning, Eastern time, SCO announced that the stock buyback deal it agreed with the unhappy investor had closed. Two hours and five minutes later, Baystar issued a statement saying that a) no it hadn't and b) we'll see you in court, matey.'" Thanks to The Reg for the write-up.

Smallfoot

[minkeyboodle]

Last I heard, smallfoot was based on Linux. And they just released it last month. They're tricky on their site about saying "UnixWare is a trademark of blah blah blah" on the same page, but that doesn't mean smallfoot is based on UnixWare. Does anyone know if something else is in place of Linux under smallfoot now, or does SCO continue to support (by releasing) GPL'ed software?

Being in Maryland, when my Canadian friends from Ontario come down, we can hear a "aboot" and "oot" in their accents. Our accent probably has more of a twang. And those of us born in the capital of the United States say "Worshington" rather faintly.

Say nothing about the province (snickers), but a Saskatchewan teacher of mine said "aboat" (or is that abote?). And yes, they do say aboot on Newsworld International, a CBC station which I get Stateside.
