SCO Gives up on Linux Website

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday November 2, 2004 @02:38AM from the but-i-want-to-hear-their-side dept.

Richard Mathias writes "Following on from the posting a month ago, where SCO said it was going to launch a new website to counteract Groklaw and give its side of things - well, now the company looks like it's given up on the whole plan. It was originally supposed to be at Prosco.net, then SCOinfo.com, but both have holding pages and a spokeswoman has said it may never happen at all because of "legal and management concerns"." Update: 11/03 01:10 GMT by T : editingwhiz writes "Despite earlier published reports, SCO Group is indeed still planning to post a lawsuit-information Web site under a new name, SCOinfo.com, company spokesman Blake Stowell told IT Manager's Journal today. So SCO is not throwing in the proverbial towel after all. But does it really make any difference? (IT Manager's Journal is part of OSTG.)"

Speaking of SCO... by Black+Parrot · 2004-11-02 02:42 · Score: 5, Interesting

For those who haven't checked lately, SCOX has been trading at around 3.0 lately.

I was actually emailed by a sco representative who wanted to link to one of my animations on their website. Here's most of it:
-----------------
We are putting a site together that will go live on November 1 and have a link on the site called "Just for Fun."

We would like to link to your site to give people access to "Steve the Linux Super Villian." It's absolutely hilarious and we would love to profile that on this section of the site, just to show people that we have a sense of humor.

May we have your permission to link to your site from our site?

To which I replied:

ABSOLUTELY, WITHOUT A DOUBT, NO.

Obviously they didn't notice my Penguin Blood Ninja FiaSCO animation.

I'm not too surprised by today's news!
