SCO Sells First Linux Licenses in UK

Posted by CmdrTaco on Tuesday November 30, 2004 @01:18AM from the this-is-still-going-on dept.

Christopher writes "SCO has actually sold its first Linux licenses in the UK. These licenses permit the use of SCO's intellectual property that is apparently present in Linux distributions, and in binary form only. To my understanding SCO hasn't won yet and these licenses don't grant you any freedoms you didn't already have, but SCO's vice president Chris Sontag says that 20 to 30 organisations worldwide have purchased these licenses."

Check that statement again, will ya?

It certainly wasn't PT Barnum who said that. Seems like I so often have to make this post to remind folks of such.

Well, keep in mind many of the suckers die prematurely. That's why we have the Darwin Awards.

This just shows that there are still idiots out there, even at the corporate level.

I think you made a typo. I think you mean especially at the corporate level ;-)

Your sig is mine
