Title: And the war begin's
Post by: mark232 on 4 September 2003, 06:02
Check this new article out regarding SCO new Linux licence there trying to inforce.. SCO it seems has just anitiated the move.... Interesting to see the out come on this.  How can you demand a licence fee, when you fail to show that customer, some wrong doing has been committed??

Anyway take a read and put your own spin on it.SCO Inforces Linux licences (http://www.cbronline.com/latestnews/62cbf9d13b40711e80256d880018c80f)

quote:

SCO executives and representatives, meanwhile, used Forum to repeat earlier criticism of the General Public License (GPL), which it said has forced it to take action against Linux users, despite being able to identify which companies and individuals are responsible for copying its code into Linux.

"There's a bouncing ball that ends up in the hands of customers because of the GPL," said McBride.

Chris Sontag, senior vice president and general manager of the company's SCOsource business, added: "There is no warranty for infringement of intellectual property [in the GPL], so all of the liability ends up with end users."



And still they trumpet the inclusion of samba in their SCO openserver.  Hypocrites.
