company and finally being able to take advantage of thousands of programm... (more)
Everybody in the open source world and in IT in general knows that the forces
of open source software development will quickly replace any code SCO shows
as being clearly infringing of any SCO rights. SCO knows this. You know this.
My grandma might even know this.
Yet, no rational individual or company is going to pay SCO's licensing fee
for use of Linux until SCO can show that there is in... (more)
Bruce Perens, cofounder of the Open Source Initiative and long-time leader of
the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, announced plans at the November 2003
Desktop Linux Consortium event in Boston to start a project called UserLinux.
