SCO Sells First Linux Licenses in UK

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."

As long as SCO's claim is being supported by none other than Eric Raymond, more and more companies are going to be ponying up the license money. With an army of lawyers, Microsoft footing the bill, and Open-Source activists wearing their logo, SCO has enough steam to be a threat for at least a few more years.

That's because we've actually freaken BEEN THERE. We're the only country who has risked life, limb and extreme amounts of money to land there, plant a flag and pick up moon rocks. If anybody has the right to claim land on the moon, it's us, folks.

I am sure somebody will consider that flamebait. Waaaahh.
