yes you can. The problem isn't license incompatability, it's that your program needs to give credit to BSD/XFree86, which can cause a practical problem if you need to credit 30 different people in your help screen and other materials.
There are some commercial X Servers for linux (MetroX, for example). Of course, if XFree86 isn't free enough for you, you probably wouldn't touch MetroX with a 10-foot pole. Solaris uses something else for XWindows (and it includes display postscript). Of course, that's not "free" either.
PicoGUI and Berlin (or whatever they renamed themselves this week) are still in the development stage. GTK and some games can run under direct vga acess too.
You must still be in college or high school. When you get out into the real world, "free software" ideals take a backseat to a paycheck.
Anyhow, IBM is actively sending programming jobs to india. But don't let that stop you from spending your free time being an unpaid open source coder. It really helps IBM's bottom line.
No he can't. He licensed and released the code under the GPL license. As long as you, I, SCO, Hitler, Osoma Bin Laden, Michael Landen, or joe sysadmin follows the terms of the GPL for that software, Fyodor can't do jack shit. SCO has claimed the GPL is illegal and/or unconstitutional, but that's irrelevant. What matters is if they will provide, for free/nominal cost, the source code for their version of nmap.
I partially agree, and even more importantly, so does history.
Before OS X, NextStep and OpenStep were available for x86 hardware. They provided a nice gui and Unix stability when the rest of the world was using windows 3.1.
But they were fickle about hardware and interrupts.
I don't know why OpenStep for x86 wasn't more popular. Maybe it was too expensive. Maybe it wasn't MS. Maybe NeXT didn't advertise enough. I don't know any reason OS x86 wouldn't suffer the same fate.
The debt was at 6.75%. that means you need to find a 10% pretax rate of return. You can get a rate of return that high, but it involves a lot more risk than any prudent corporation would take, and is subject to short (and long) term losses.
Also, It's windows 2000 SP1 era code, maybe even older. Since then there has been XP and longhorn betas, not to mention mutliple other bugfixes and service packs.
at IBM, the linux kernel team is different than the AIX kernel team. A linux kernel guy can ask an AIX kernel guy a question about how they dealt with something, but they can't share code or SCO might sue.
You could download the windows source code and have it sitting archived on your hard drive without ever looking at it. But if you independently write code that does something like windows does, and there is a copy of the windows source code on your hard drive, what do you think a jury would think?
The only GPL software I'm aware of MS distributing is with Unix Services For Windows (formerly interix) -- gcc and some other command line tools. You can bet big bucks the people that compile gcc don't do any work on VC.
When I first tried bittorrent (win32 version), I scoffed at the "donationware" nag. Yeah, sure, I'll pay money for a p2p tool. Not!
But then a funny thing happened. I found a tracker for trading live shows from various bands in flac/shn format. Since then, my usage of blank CDs has increased dramatically. So I've decided to share the money and donated to Bram and the tracker.
Linus Torvalds wanted a terminal emulator, so he wrote one, then turned it into a full kernel. That is initiative.
Richard Stallman wanted a FREE c compiler, so he wrote one. That took initiaztive.
Al Gore (and a couple hundred other people) voted to spend other people's money, not knowing where most of it was going, only concerned about what pork they were bringing back home.

Try merging Emacs and XEmacs sometime. egcs/gcc didn't merge so much as egcs replaced gcc.

Hurray Open Source!
interesting... Accusing CmdrTaco of being heterosexual is -1 Troll. Maybe the moderators know something you don't?
I use qmail. How many exploits for qmail have their been? None.
The only reason it's not the preferred OpenBSD mta is the license for qmail (you can't distribute modified binaries, only original source + patches).
I don't know about that.... just the other day, I got spam selling ass-douche kits.
According to the SEC filings, the debt was callable -- ie, they could buy it back at any time without penalty.

How many people submit patches for linux 1.4?
I've seen torrents for the source code in tar.bz and tar.gz format as well as the .zip

so, anybody got some good stories about geeting drunk?
Motorola's Phone may be loaded with Open Source, but Timothy's ass-pussy is loaded with open sores!

Unfortunately, the processor isn't the only laptop component that uses electricity. And it isn't even the major electricity user!
TMTA has no power or speed advantage over a low-speed celeron or pentium M, and even more importantly, no price advantage.
you forgot option 3: he got caught with a hard drive full of kiddie pr0n.
your penis is rather small. perhaps you need some pills... oh shit, nevermind.
none of those things are a part of linux, dipshit.
linus has stated that /dev/vagina support will never be added to linux. However, support for /dev/penis and /dev/anus is rivalled only by OS X.
however, you can squeeze hot jizz from a 10-inch cock.
