Yahoo Sues Mozilla For Breach of Contract -- So Mozilla Counter Sues Yahoo (betanews.com)

Mark Wilson writes: Mozilla and Yahoo have started a legal spat about the deal that existed between the two companies regarding the use of the Yahoo search engine in the Firefox browser. On December 1, Yahoo fired the first shot filing a complaint that alleges Mozilla breached a contract that existed between the two companies by terminating the arrangement early. In a counter complaint, Mozilla says that it was not only justified in terminating the contract early, but that Yahoo Holdings and Oath still have a bill that needs to be settled.

SCO was right, though. Their copyrighted source code is in Linux. The problem is that the open source community kept moving the goalposts, claiming that the code doesn't count. Meanwhile, IBM's lawyers dragged the case out excessively to bankrupt SCO. It was quite an abuse of the legal system.

Comical revisionist history on slashdot. A wonderful take on what happened indeed! You should work to the POTUS he is very high on this kind of take on the facts. As was HITLER!! SCO DID FUCK ALL TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE LINUX KERNEL on the contrary they tried desperately to prove there was use of proprietary secret header files from their version of a Unix kernel, which in reality was under copyright with Novell. Anyone who codes knows what actually occurred is complete and utter bullshit, because a header is not the fucking code and given the c programming involved in making a construct work inevitably there will be code with the same syntax and even variable names. The linux kernel is not a cut and paste monster which was just quickly cloned from Unix source code it is a reverse engineered opensource masterpiece that has made diverse competition in the home audio, television, entertainment device, IOT device and cell phone market possible.

The price we now pay for the linux kernel's existence it is the fact that you can go out and by cheap electronic devices that work extremely well. This rapid development to a main stream mainstay of our daily life as consumers of Samsung, LG, Sony, and all the other brands that have come to rely upon the linux kernel in one form or another is the thing that gave Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer night sweats and they were right in fearing linux, the penguins they are everywhere!!!!! MUWHAHAHAAHAA give me a fish or I will eat you sucker!

I am in an extremely good mood today and feel like burning some karma up on a useless anon coward who tries to engage in revisionist history.
