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."

    a human being dealt with you like this, you'd be right to shun them. Why is a corporation any different?

    Actually, corporations are treated as individuals under US law, IIRC. So i'm shunning them. Keep your nasty GIF patents where the sun doesn't shine!
