LMFAO @ SCO
the latest news: The text of SCO's "Linux license"
Quote:
This Agreement does not grant a right to receive any
distribution of software from SCO. SCO grants Company a limited and
non-exclusive right to SCO Product under the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. Company acknowledges that it is not granted any other
right except for the rights specifically set forth herein.
it gets worse
Quote:
Should Company require to add additional right-to-use licenses
for Linux Systems or additional CPUs, Company shall submit a purchase
order to, and subject to acceptance by, SCO's Sales Administration
Department located at SCO's Santa Cruz, California facility. Such
purchase orders shall state the Linux System details and License Fees
included in Exhibit A of this Agreement and shall reference and bind
Company to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
and even worse
Quote:
Company shall keep full, clear and accurate records with respect
to Linux Systems and the number of licensed CPUs per Linux Systems.
Such records shall contain all information necessary to determine
exactly all fees due hereunder. Company shall provide to SCO, upon
request by SCO, reports with such records including the number of copies
of made by Company.
what do you guys/gals think of the implications of this..

Quote:
"Clearly, it's at a point and time where we are going to take matters into our own hands and move forward," McBride said. "It's time to start marching onward again with our legal claims."
McBride enjoys referring to Linux users as a "tainted" bunch. He seems to see them as some group of unbathed mongrels that that covet other peoples' intellectual property for their coding pig-pens.
This really isn't the nicest language to use for such an amicable crew, especially when SCO's real beef is with IBM and Red Hat. But SCO claims that IBM and Red Hat are the ones that forced it to put the blame on Linux users. Since IBM and Red Hat won't rush to the Linux community's rescue and hand over millions for unproven claims, SCO must attack the little guys.
well the $1399 will be starting october 15th till then it'll be $699 per CPU !!
but still.. as soon as this happens I'll switch to BSD !!
