They seem like a nice, honorable company that tries to do the right thing and make a good product...
Good for them!!! UnitedLinux 1.0 *IS* SuSE linux (AFAICT) and w/o SuSE, Caldera/SCO doesn't have the engineering skills to upgrade the kernel on their own.
I hope Caldera goes down, and it makes me sad that I ever liked their company and wasted my money on stock (which I thankfully don't own anymore). I hope they go down the tubes and whomever suggested the idea for them to sue everyone gets sent to a foreign country and beaten with a cane!
This should be called FUD.NET. Instead of using unannounced software to strike fear into people so they won't buy a competing product, just scare them into thinking that if we try to be mean to Uncle Microsoft that it'll hurt "Our Boys fighting in that there war".
I don't particularly believe that MS has to open up there source code, just document the protocols and API's for 3rd parties
(after all, when you create a micro-economy around your product (Windoze), you need to support your ISV's, especially when you are a monopoly like the Baby Bells... They have to play nicely with each other, or at least make the phone calls go though).
Anyone else have a feeling that no matter what, MS has enough money to ensure they won't loose this fight... I hope this isn't the case, but I have a bad feeling....
You are right that there has to be a balance, I mentioned National Security as a point in which I do not believe that the software should always be open sourced (i.e. I wouldn't want to find a missle guidance system on SourceForge anytime soon)
Not everything should be open sourced, however if it's usefull as software to the general public then it should be available to the general public (i.e. USGovtTaxPayerOpenSourceLicense, it's GPL if you paid taxes, and licensable if you don't):-)
If the software is written using public funds (i.e. my tax dollars are paying for this), then the resulting software should be publically available. Either under a GPL type license or under a BSD sytle license (with a BSD license, then even companies could incorporate the publically funded technology into their products to sell, sorta giving them something back for their tax dollars). Either way, if we paid [taxes] for it, then it should be available to us.
Maybe we could get a bill passed that states all software not written for national security that is paid for by taxes should be open to the tax payers. Just a thought.

The choice of the 'SCO' generation....
(a) Try to Kill Linux
(b) Get bought by IBM
(c) Simply go out of business
(d) Beat Microsoft in the "most hated company of all time poll on CNN"
WiFi stands for "Wireless Fidelity"

I think the InnoDB allows FK constraints (and InnoDB is included now)

UGH (Frustrated at how much I hate SCO now)

Static linking?
(Just a thought, but it does advoid this whole mess)
Patents..... The only thing that I hate more than Microsoft. As much as I "hate" to see them in any trouble ;-) I dislike patents more.
What do you see? I just get a blue IE window. (gasp, made me run IE just to see that? -- blah)

Alot more complex that the KeySpan model http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/remote/ that I use. But it sounds cool.
As computers move more onto the Stereo rack, these should be more popular.
