Because the companys having patents might have a deal. Ms makes deals like that every day with companies like Sun , SAP and so on. Dont sue me and i wont sue you and lets exchange patents.
Owners of linux usually dont have patents to trade with, exception might be novell who owns suse. No dont count ibm. They have patents but they dont own a distribution who can be targeted. Very clever or dumb depending how you look at it.
Cancer is one of the largest health problems in the near future, thow we have seen a lot of information about "new inventions" solving stuff.....project david....huh huh. Great it its true!
Sorry to destroy your day på gpl is a license and not a contract. Check it out here: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=200312 142 10634851&query=gpl+is+a+license
"a lot of the confusion about the gpl stems from this central isue: Which is it? a license or a contract? The reason that matters is because if it's a contract, then you enforce it under contract law, which is enforced state by state, and there are certain necessary elements to qualify as a valid contract. If it's a license, then it's enforced under copyright law, and that's enforced on the federal level according to the terms of copyright law, not contract law. The penalties available are not the same." [...] "The gpl is unequivocally a license, and that's the truth."
I have been playing around with the new xml format in word 2003 beta. It works very nice. We make reports from out system to word xml. We can open it in word, we can transform it further to pdf, crystal and so on. The format is ok and not f*cked up cdat stuff.....
Here is a recent study about java and.net. The result ?
"The Middleware Company has released a J2EE and.NET Performance case study, the latest study (an MDA productivity study was released a few weeks ago) based on their Application Server Baseline Spec. Except for the web services test, the two platforms came out mostly equal in performance. "
Why bother, when you get even the easy ones wrong. Especially when the article is basically rephrasing what Eben Moglen said; you know, the professor who actually does know "legal stuff".
Moglen points out that copyright law is not relevant to customers "using" Linux. In much the same way that readers can enjoy a book or a newspaper without a copyright license, so can users of software -- unless they have agreed to additional use restrictions in, for example, a shrink-wrapped box of software.
If this is so basic then why do SCO make such claims? They did sent out 1500 letters about it didnt they?

Will it work with the asf cloudescape db?
