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."

    I have to wonder about the smoke and mirrors of Unisys, since they had a magician doing their sales pitch at the LinuxWorld Expo in SF earlier this month. Pulling a button out of some CIO's ear, attempt to pull a fast one on the Linux community.. who knows. I'll keep my distance.
