Does Unisys Really Get It?

Posted by simoniker on from the survey-says dept.

Joe Barr writes "There's an interesting story on NewsForge today about Unisys and its new-found love for Linux. In the story, Robin Miller interviews Unisys VP of engineering Anthony Gold and asks such delicate questions as how Unisys 'planned to make amends for its use of GIF patents against open source projects'? It's a good read, and in this day and age of software dinosaurs trying for peaceful co-existence with Linux, a very timely one."

    What is wrong with a company saying, "Our customers are demanding Linux, lets give it to them."? Isn't that how business works?

    And how come all you TiVo zealots (I am one of them) will praise TiVo for using Linux in a proprietary code and hardware fasion? Are you the same ones bashing Unisys for doing the same? For this reason, you should drop TiVo until they make their code (and all you to) run on any PC and not just their proprietary hardware.
