SCO Spreads Rumors About IBM Lawsuit

Posted by michael on from the your-chocolate-ration-has-been-increased dept.

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.

    And after that, they'll buy Novell. Then, they'll lay claim to the Linux kernel itself and threaten to shutdown kernel development work with patent suits.

    Ah, perfect example. Somebody rated the parent this post as a "Troll". This is *exactly* the mindset that the Forbes article referred to.
