2003-05-29 - SCO vs. Linux
I lived in SantaCruzCalifornia, I've even done paid SCO consulting in my past. So far I've been ignoring the whole SCO vs. Linux deal as the last gasp of a dying company. However this from Chris Sontag, SCO's annoys me:
There is no mechanism in Linux to ensure [the legality of] that intellectual property of the source code being contributed by various people. We fully believe there are many contributions made by good, hard-working individuals into Linux that are not of issue.
He isn't attacking the legality of Linux, he's attacking the credibility of OpenSource. He's saying that OpenSource developers are a shady theiving lot and if you trust their software for mission critical thing you never know when you'll have world ganked out from under you.
