so,cringely claims that the ridiculous SCO claims over snippets of Linux code may destruct the organisational structure that sustains free/open source software development. it is the same claim as saying that the free/open source world is dependent upon the commercial sphere to prolong its stay in the software world. unfortunately for cringely, this sounds very silly and non-pragmatic.
for although money, adoption by the masses, corporates, and governments of the world is critical for f/oss to gain momentum, the organisational structure behind such undertakings is not sustained by neither legal nor commercial influences.
and although i dunno if others are terrified by sco, i personally dont give a damn. sco may eke out a profit out of their fantasies turned legal argument, yet in the longer term such a sco-policy cannot pay. and this also weird since cringely, in the very same installment, says that all sco is after is making a quick buck and then dropping their case before it even gets to courts. so how could sco undermine f/oss development structures?
