now, are they really suckers? how would you or i know? say this company did their own internal investigation into SCO's claims... had a team of techies and lawyers sign the NDA, and sit down to examine SCO's findings. say this team came back to the high ups and was convinced that SCO would win this legal battle and the high ups decided it was better to pay the $699 now rather than the $1399 (or possible more if SCO wins) later.
in my mind, paying SCO right now is utter nonsense. they are hand-waiving to the fullest. but my mind is neither corporate nor legal. maybe for those who are "in the know" buying up the licenses now is not such a bad move.

i believe he/she said "people LIKE the gentoo team." in actuality, you misunderstood or misread the previous post. read: people who innovate and work hard to produce in the name of open development and open standards. in my mind this includes the slack, red hat and debian team members as well as a host of others.
if you think about it, linux is a minority OS, so faulting gentoo for being a minority distro is tantamount to saying linux is insignificant because more people use windows.
