But, if IBM spun off it's Software Group, it would be the second largest software company in the world (behind MS).
Also, under the bsd license commercial proprietary software can integrate the open-source work, so why would anyone slave away at developing linux, only to have their work immediately integrated into commercial applications, the original developers not to see a dime.
What about Redhat Enterprise Linux or any other of the commercial ditros... how many dimes have you received?
Last I knew RHEL had a tuckload of GPL stuff in there so the problem you described is actaully nothing to do with the GPL/BSD licence war.
Is there anyone at Verisign willing to post the logic behind making the changes in the fist place?

OSI vs SCO

You are losing sight of the underlying problem.
If it was your IP being stolen you'd do exactly what SCO is doing!
If you want to live in a world that doesn't respect the intellectual property of the individual or of a company then you can always live in North Korea or Cuba.
Like it or lump it, if I develop or buy something that's worth cash and pays to keep food in my stomach, and someone, based on their convictions, decides to gives it away for free... well, thats plain criminal...
If Linux does contain SCO IP then Linux can burn in hell like the theiving dog that it is.
This is not a matter of religous zealotry, it a matter of plain theft!
That was the point -- if Microsoft is out to play games, and won't accept open source, we can play the same stupid game and make something "closed" by excluding them.
But you are the one wanting to use their 'innovations' ane not vice-versa! You con't
have any political clout whatsoever.
plus an additional clause that Microsoft or any entity that is owned by Microsoft is prohibited from using it.
Your new license would not be classified as an Open Source license as per clause 5 of the Open Source definition @ http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.html
That's why I say that for the pure Unix user, Linux wins.
For a pure Unix user I'm afraid that OS X would win... Linux is the one that is totally non standard (even amongst different distributions) in the Unix world!
Go and have a look at the multitude of Unices out there and you'll find that what OS X gives you is the de-facto standard.
Side Note: WebSphere runs right becasue its base is Apache! IBM's own code base before this sucked!
Let's not let the facts get in the way of a good rant...
WebSphere is an application server... it needs a web server to interface between the HTTP protocol and the application server. WebSphere on NT can use a number of different web servers.
Digital TV passes exciting tenth subscriber milestone
CANBERRA, Wednesday: Television executives celebrated with Federal Communications Minister Richard Alston after Australia's new digital TV networks chalked up their tenth subscriber earlier this week. "They said we'd never make it to double figures, but we've shown them," Alston said. "And what's even better is that we've shown them in high-quality widescreen!"
Alston believes that the future is bright. "We taxpayers gave all of that free broadcasting spectrum to the Packers, and it's inconceivable that public-spirited people like them would give us nothing in return," he said.
The new subscriber, Bertrand Williams, joins an exclusive club of digital TV owners including Alston himself, John Howard and the Packer family. Mr Williams is also unique because he is the first subscriber who has actually paid for their set. Williams says he was convinced to buy one of the extremely expensive digital televisions after a salesperson at the SonyCentral store in Chatswood told him that conventional televisions would soon become obsolete.
"I should have asked her for more details before I paid for it," Williams said. "Her subsequent estimate of 2030 might be wrong, though - some experts have said digital TV may become dominant as early as 2025."
But Williams' family says it was a good decision nonetheless. "Digital TV is really cool, it has heaps of great features" his teenage son Billy said. "Because it's widescreen, I can get much more out of the cricket. You can see much more grass on either side of the batsman. Plus you can change camera angles, although when I try that, I generally find myself watching Stumpcam while someone takes a brilliant catch in the deep."
Williams' daughter Louise has also really enjoyed the widescreen technology, which she says makes it far easier to fit all five Backstreet Boys onscreen at the same time Alston claims that digital TV is already incredibly popular, at least at his place. "Once you've tried digital, it's hard to go back," Alston insists. Williams agrees, saying that he has tried, but the shop insisted that his TV was completely non-refundable.

Hate to break the news to you, but the US hasn't managed to overthrow the Governments of every country, and install a puppet regime, just yet.
Saying one 'smokes' the other is purely a matter of what people are used to.
Regardless, both methods shit all over RPMs!
From the example you've just given I'd say the two systems are on a par.
And never will be due to the international treaties that are in effect.
So what you're telling me is that the reliability problems that some people have reported with Windows is actually the hardware and NOT the software.
If the software was dodgy it'd have the same reliability problems under a virtual machine as it does on the actual hardware.
