SCO Is Undeniably, Reliably Dead (fossforce.com)
An anonymous reader writes: On Friday, IBM and SCO filed an agreement with the US district court in Utah to accept a ruling of dismissal of the last remaining claims by SCO against IBM. Says the linked article, in line with our most recent other mentions of the long-due death spiral:
This agreement wasn't unexpected, and in fact, came down right on deadline. On February 10, I reported that Judge David Nuffer with the U.S. District Court in Utah had ruled to dismiss a couple of interference claims SCO had filed against IBM, and had ordered both parties to reach an agreement on whether to accept the dismissal by February 26, which was Friday. In all likelihood this is the last we'll ever hear from SCO as its current owner, the California based software company Xinuos which now owns and markets many of SCO's old products, will probably remove what's left of SCO from life support.
Similar scams.
Microsoft was behind scox scam, scox was just a pawn.
Now Microsoft has partnered with Red Hat, and declared that only Red Hat Linux is immune from Microsoft patent lawsuits.
So MS is still using IP scams to kill Linux. Instead of scox, MS is now partnering with Red Hat.
have you volunteered with any of the other distros? They're all going to systemd. With all the problems that could be fixed, init still isn't one of them. Installed Fedora just to see what it's like these days - my laptop starts up fast unless it crashes, but then I have to sit staring at it for a minute or so until the network port icon indicates it's finished. Yay! Hope I didn't want to bind any services to that IP...except, I'll actually do something about it, by going back to a system which doesn't use systemd. And I'll help out with that poettering-free system, and make my voice heard during planning. And want to blame someone? Blame Ubuntu for being the first to "solve" a problem that didn't exist.
