IANAL, but I have to deal in the legal issues which justify Information Security posture... When this counts - once someone sues you.
The lawyers for the opposition demand a paper-trail demonstrating that principles of Due Care were observed in the handling of information, and in securing hosts and networks. No paper-trail of invoices, policies, memos, staff assignments, etc.? Willful negligence
I agree that this would be the first PHB inclination.
The California law does not void the standing legal principles of "due dilligence" and "due care".
Due Care means, basically, that a manager can be held liable for loss or damages, when provisions were not made to prevent them. The standard used is "measures a reasonable person would take, given the facts." Due Dilligence covers the loophole in "given the facts". This means a "reasonable effort" to ascertain the nature of risks, and appropriate countermeasures.
Better than 50% of the U.S. people poled believe that Saddam Hussein had a direct and personal involvement in the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
I would think that this is an indicatior of my assertion.
One point of data does not plot a trend... But if you are already disinclined to find these for yourself, I would be wasting my time in trying further demonstration here on/.
Probably not racist.. Just usual pig-ignorant Ammurrican etho-centrism, again. The other poster is probably right, that they'd have done the same, if the target were the Danes.
With as little insight into Denmark.
What else can you expect? They don't get out much.
Less than 8% of the U.S. population even hold a passport. It's a likely estimate that 30% or more of this number was foreign born.
SCO will be undone and destroyed, and Microsoft will say:
"SEE! I told you that Open Source software is viral, anti-competitive and has already caused the failure of at least one vendor. Protective regulation must be enabled to stem the threat from open source software to the vitality of our technoloy economy!"
Tie this to terrorism and national economic policy - the Bushies will jump right in.

Everybody knows, there is more BSD and GNU code stolen by commercial *NIX developers than commercial code cribbed by open source efforts.
Commercial developers are held to schedules by management that also rewards them for exceeding schedule. Results are obfuscated by binary distribution formats. This is even legal practice with BSD licensing.
The phrase isn't mine... It's a riff on a cover the National Lampoon did around 1975: "Buy this magazine, or we'll shoot this dog!" [Picture of a frightened looking dog, with a revolver pressed to his head.]
You mean that Unix hasn't been improved substantiall since 1972? I guess the Microsoft salesman was right after all!
Just the kernel, maybe the login code... Improved substantially, yes. Fundamentally expanded in focus or basic mechanism? Probably not. The big Unix innovations seem to be file-based I/O, and the pipe.
Yeah, and after the Canopy Group realizes the pile of doo-doo that they stepped into with this one, they'll end up owning a whole lot less! Sell-off...
Idly, I wonder if the Canopy Group got sold a bill-of-goods by Ransom Love, who exited stage left before they could discover that the "intellectual property" they were investing in was second-hand vapour...
Sue Linus, for an implementation that mimics an API which is not under patent protection?
Sue Linus, for an implementation of an API under the U.S. Government sponsored POSIX public specification?
Sue Linus for the implementation of an API for which your claim to hold copyright cannot be legally documented?
Even if the Linux kernel were a clone of Unix internals, the 1991-2 date comes before the U.S. was even clear that software could be patented. In FINLAND!!!!! outside the jurisdiction of U.S. legal bogosity.
BTW: From when does this imaginary patent protection for the Unix kernel and I/O mechanism date? 1970? 1972? I smell expiration.

I ask for documentation and evidence. Like 95% of the REST OF THE WORLD!!!

Single Point of Failure! :-)
Well, there is a racist component - but only as a part of a broader ignorance. Let's call it latent racism, rather than active racism.
I thought so...
2 years from now, SCO will occupy a similar position in your attentions. 95% of it will be worth about as much.

Just extrapolating a probable action based on the track record of administration appointed department and regulatory bodies.

More an opinion than a game, really. Did anyone ever reallyplay this?

These guys were over the top - back in the day.
Every day I find another use for Knoppix. I've re-built my own - with non re-distributable software, like X-Over plugins.
Nice to know you can help serve 'em!
Touché!
Buy my software, or I'll shoot this penguin!

Big deal. Pull linux support for Itanic, and watch it sink!
Maybe Intel should rename this "WinChip".
