It just doesn't make any sense that developers would continue to develop for Linux if it was owned by the SCO. Because the SCO is a company that does nothing except file lawsuits. Why would open...

Since the American courts are totally unpredictable and basically out to lunch than there is a possibility that the SCO would win the case. Would you continue to use Linux and pay your fee? Would the...

The American fiaSCO goes to show you that Linux is the platform of choice for everyone. The fact that IBM dropped Unix for Linux hurt Sun and SCO, so they retaliated, Microsoft style.

Apparently...

The (S)cumbag (C)riminal (O)rganization are extortionists and good for nothing low life dirt bags. Therefore they are a perfect American business.

America seems a lot like a regime, however if there was any justice they would send the SCO executives to prison, not just lawsuits.

It's going to be bad for North America in the long term because we'll be far behind the rest of the world in information technology. All that we have is one big monopoly in the form of Microsoft,...

SCO = Scumbag Criminal Organization

Anyone who owns that stock right now are dirt bags, plain and simple. It doesn't get any easier.

Even though you support worthless scum bags and are like them, doesn't mean that you are going to sink others. If there is UNiX code in Linux, show us the code, or did the SCO put it there...

I think that North Americans should pay the SCO because dictatorships come first in North America. If however you live in a free country like Germany, France, and Russia, than don't pay any attention...

I didn't think I'd have to let you in on this secret, but I guess I have to. Don't tell anyone but Microsoft is kissing my ***! Yes, it's true, because I don't buy any Microsoft products at all, and...

I'll make you a deal. I'll get my head examined and you can go have a beverage.

I agree, FUD is not good.

I must have hit a nerve or else you would not be so hostile. Good.

If you can use the Microsoft platform and you think that you are in control than that is fine, but I can't say I feel the same. That's okay if I'm not making any sense to you but that's sure doesn't...

I'll attempt to respond to some of your questions. First of all whether I have a clue or not can only be answered on an individual bases because it will vary by individual. Second, Sun has given to...

Microsoft has total control over their platform and they force users to upgrade by making existing libraries and services obsolete. Linux relies on an organic model in order to avoid vendor lock-in....

So if Microsoft contributes to Linux some application under the GPL, than suddenly Microsoft is a great company? Sounds like a convenient way to get their foot in the door.

Think about the GPL....

The article is on linux.org right now. Sun financially backed the SCO by purchasing Licenses and so did Microsoft. They also backed the SCO by supporting it. Maybe Sun's angle is to destroy IBM,...

mrBen is right, however what would happen if Linux was not posix compliant is that Linux would not be called Unix anymore. It seems that everyone wants to use the name Unix instead of Linux, and I...

Sun and SCO are good friends, and it appears that they are both enemies of Linux. As far as I can tell, Linux is associated with Unix because of it's compliance to the POSIX interface. Maybe Linux...

Maybe Linux should dump that excess bagage, SCO and SUN. In order to do this, Linux would have to drop POSIX compliance and IBM would have to build a library that replaces Java completely.
