"Isn't it funny that no one is able to even throw money at SCO for a "Linux License?" I emailed scoinfo@scosales.com and asked about these magical mystery linux licenses and got no answer but an offer to buy "SCO Unix" and threat to be billed for asking so many questions."
Great minds think alike . I did the same thing- e-mailed 2 requests for invoices for my use of "their" Linux IP (in July), and last week telephoned them. SCO said they would not invoice me, a user of multiple Linux 2.4 distros in a commercial setting, but they did tell me they would "take a credit card order." Sure- so they absolve themselves of all liability that invoicing someone could incur. Wonder what would be on that cc receipt? I really don't understand- SCO threatened me, a commercial Linux user, on their website and told me I need to "buy me a license," but they won't sell me one. Extremely interesting.
I think we shall soon see the GNU critter gore Mr. Darl McBride with its sharp horns, or give him a good swift kick in the pants. As a shell-shocked survivor of the First Unix Wars, where most people did nothing but whine and wait for the courts to settle things, my advice is- do something. Take a stand. Fight this FUD. There was only 1 victor in the First Unix Wars- Microsoft. Let's not let that happen again. React.
