JG0LD writes with this news from Network World: A breach-of-contract and copyright lawsuit filed nearly 13 years ago by a successor company to business Linux vendor Caldera International against IBM may be drawing to a close at last, after a U.S. District Court judge issued an order in favor of the latter company earlier this week.
Here's the decision itself (PDF). Also at The Register.

    However the difference between the "flusterfuck dyslexic script hackery" and the new thing is if portions failed to work the old way the system would still come up with whatever it has.
    This shit of hanging with no log available and then finding that just unplugging an RF mouse dongle is the secret to the booting or not is not what we are looking for in a modern system. Lots of things writing in parallel to a binary log? The 1960s called and said something about obvious failures wait to happen due to race conditions that Lennart has somehow not heard about.
