SCO to Unix developers, We want you back

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the buying-friends dept.

NoGuffCheck writes "CRN is reporting that Darl McBride is looking to get Unix developers back onboard with cash incentives for completing training in SCO's new mobile application kit; EdgeBuilder. It doesn't stop there; there's a 12-cylinder BMW or $100,000 dollars for the development of the best wireless application."

    You may be prepared to find that the supposed hatred is all talk when a recently-laid off developer gets a new car wafted under his nose.

    Hell, if they were giving out free cars, I'd write a piece of software to collect mine. They're only offering the chance to win a car though. If I wanted a chance to win a car I'd attend one of those stupid time-share seminars. If some recently laid-off developer is basing their financial survival on winning a BMW from SCO...well...it's no wonder they're unemployed.

    OTOH, I can download Debian for the chance at winning a free operating system...and I win every time.
