SCO Spreads Rumors About IBM Lawsuit
yeremein writes "SCO says it has found a new smoking gun in its battle with IBM. This 'bombshell' was not found in a court document; instead it came from a reporter's interview at SCOforum. The scoop? 'SCO alleges that since 2001, AIX has contained code for which IBM does not have a license. Moreover SCO claims to have found internal IBM e-mails in which IBMers acknowledge this shortcoming.' With the announcement comes a hefty boost in SCO's stock price." SCO is also going to bundle its worthless linux licenses with its Unix operating systems.
It seems the first link for posting is broken.
is it?
Declaring something as worthless does not make it so. Slashdot is no different than anyone else when it comes to spreading FUD; the only difference between slashdot and Sco is that Sco actually turns a profit.
Now go ahead and mod me troll, you "worthless" sheep.
stupid mods! don't bump up someone who doesn't rtfa
What the hell does this SCO/Linux business have to do with my "rights online"? My online activities are not affected the least bit by who uses/misuses unix/linux code. Start posting these stories under a different category!!
No it doesn't.
Back to high school with you and all the other fuckers that'll jump in here and stupidly say "language evolves, blah blah blah" as an excuse for their own poor command of the language.
Does that sound like unbiased journalism?
/.'ers don't realize is that Slashdot is an aberration. It's a tiny, tiny, subculture that has this inflated sense of self-worth. From a business perspective, Linux is on very, very shaky ground, and is still very experimental. /.'ers don't seem to realize in the real world... where decisions aren't made haphazardly (Well, we can save $100 on a copy of Windows, let's use Linux), Linux is a giant risk, and primarily is used and supported by said zealots. The same zealots who wave off lawsuits because they don't agree with them, or they think they're frivolous. The truth of the matter is that most /.'ers are NOT decision makers, and are not suited to be for things like zealotry about a silly piece of software.
Not exactly, but close. He's describing the Slashdot community perfectly. What you fellow
So I say, it's time to wake up and realize that what this guy is describing is accurate. You just don't see it if you spend you day with like minded Slashdotters. Kind of like Nascar fans who can't possibly imagine people who have no interest in Nascar, or any other subculture for that matter.
