Good SCO - Linux article

[krohnjw]

Don't know if this has been posted up before, but this is a great (albeit long) atricle detailing the case as stated and refuting it.

Worth a read if you ask me.

These assertions depend on the presumption that the open-source community consists of amateurs and incompetents, incapable of coordinating to produce high-quality work. In fact, the Linux developers have consistently out-thought, out-imagined, and out-coded old SCO's and SCO/Caldera's ? which is precisely why old SCO went into the Linux professional services business, why it added Linux application compatibility to OpenServer, and why SCO/Caldera now finds itself without a business model and reduced to suing the handiest pair of deep pockets.

Yep, pretty good read. Thanks.

very VERY good article...i still haven't finished reading it, but i'm about 2/3 through it.

First of all i thought that SCo did own the rights to the Unix name and also to Unix code...instead they don't own the name at all and only own the code to genetic Unix.

Before reading this i felt that SCO would loose...now i'm certain of it.
