SCO signs up first Linux licensee
Talkback SCO claims Linux is in violation of its IP - "So it says". SCO claims it has signed up a fortune 500 company to its license program - "So it says". SCO seems to be showing nothing but demanding a lot, disregarding the fact that it may, itself, be...

SCO cancels Sequent's Unix licence
Talkback Microsoft is feeling the preasure of Linux and sits behind this, SCO suddenly has got a big buddy, and M$ is winning all the way, not just putting presure on Linux but Unix too.

SCO: IBM has 'failed to comply'
Talkback Ho hum, another SCO inspired delay. Every time we get closer to a ruling or a hearing on this case, SCO ask for discovery or file a pleading or some other delaying tactic. SCO don't want to go to court, they just want to delay, Delay, DELAY.

SCO vs the Linux world…What's a Linux user to do?
Talkback While it might seem biased by many, I see no way to justify SCO's unwillingness to point out the offending code. As a longtime (since 92) Linux user, I find SCO to be just another greedy tech company hoping to salvage the remnants of a dying...

SCO vs the Linux world…What's a Linux user to do?
Talkback I know I was scared, so I purchased a license using money that is as worthless as SCO's licenses. I am documenting my purchase here: http://www.perlguy.net/sco.html

SCO keeps disputed code secret
Talkback If, as SCO claim, their code has been copied into Linux then how can any code they show in court "be secret"? I don't understand. Obviously, they are doing this to prevent any infringing code from being removed.

SCO updates its Unix product and open source attitude
Talkback Why would anyone use sco when there are so many other better companies out there. LEave them alone, they will go bankrupt and the world will be a better place.

SCO: IBM has 'failed to comply'
Talkback So SCO are saying IBM haven't fully responded to a lawsuit that SCO itself haven't fully declared. SCO and Microsoft know they can't win but have figured its cheaper to keep paying the lawyers and keep ripping of companies which would otherwise...

SCO: IBM has 'failed to comply'
Talkback Hang on here, so SCO are demanding all the past and present source code from IBM but have repeatedly refused to release any detals of the alleged copied code to the Linux community.Because they'd just go ahead and fix it)

SCO vs the Linux world…What's a Linux user to do?
Talkback Anyone considering giving SCO protection money for nothing should be asking, "If you lose your case (extremely likely), do I get my 'License' fee back? The real story is SCO executives dumping large amounts of stock after their completely criminal...

SCO keeps disputed code secret
Talkback both IBM and SCO wanted the private sessions. Typical! From what I've also read on Gartner (? However, we will eventually see the code. Don't all court proceedings have to become public at some point?

SCO vs the Linux world…What's a Linux user to do?
Talkback SCO is doing nothing but making non-enforceable threats! It seems logical that until a court rules on SCO's IP claims (AND MAYBE AFTER A COURT RULES) that apparent authority, also known as ostensible authority kicks in to protect the innocent 3rd...

SCO vs the Linux world…What's a Linux user to do?
Talkback Despite all the facts you point out it has been a very worthwhile gambit for SCO management. A good analysis. They will most likely lose their case , but the shareholders who have cashed in already will have done well, and there is still an...

SCO dodges knockout blow
Talkback Well, SCO are just Microsoft's stalking horse anyway, so it's not surprising there's not a summary judgement. They probably either a) want to see where the horse goes next, and/or b) find a solid link to the backer of this stalking horse.

SCO keeps disputed code secret
Talkback It's too bad SCO is full of crap. SCO has no code. We might be inclined to believe them if they had acted in their own best interests in getting distribution of the code stopped but they haven't. It's all been a stock drumming scheme funded by...
