Now it is getting to be interesting... SCO Group on Monday said it revoked IBM's license to sell its version of Unix, called AIX, and requested that a judge permanently block IBM's Unix business. http://news.com.com/2100-1016_3- 1017719.html?type=pt&part=rss&tag=feed&subj=news Avi

This was expected. IBM knows full well what they're doing, I'm sure. Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft®. We have no bugs in our software, Never!, We do have undocumented added features, that you will find amusing, at no added cost, to you, at this time.
Its becoming completely obvious that MS is behind this (I mean SCO, they have nothing to offer anyone of any value). Now we just need proof. Unfortunately the only people with the power to seize evidence are the feds...Who has the most to gain from a FUD campaign against Linux and Unix? MSFT does not want competition from anyone. If they got Linux out the way, they know that other Nix's also will be in their way. If you cannot beat them through technical/cost measures lets try to destroy them through Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. Luckily IBM practically invented FUD...We're lucky they see value in Linux. Oh, as for the stock prices going up for that short time, I am also convinced it was investors wrongfully thinking IBM would just buy out SCO. Now its obvious they won't at least for quite some time SCO's stock will continue to collapse. Just my opinions... Matt On Mon, 2003-06-16 at 13:54, Avi Schwartz wrote:

On the contrary! This has been going on for 3 months now, and it was dull after 3 days. Fortunately, the acronym "SCO" in the subject makes a really simple filter. I've just cracked and installed it. :o) -- "...our desktop is falling behind stability-wise and feature wise to KDE ...when I went to Mexico in December to the facility where we launched gnome, they had all switched to KDE3." - Miguel de Icaza, March 2003

Of cause it may actually get more interesting if Novell shareholders question the sale to SCO. It sounds as if someone cocked up there. Personally I am just waiting until SCO actually come up with some FACTS. If the only bits they have a problem with are the multi-computer stuff, then SUSE can just drop those bits from the distribution - end of problem, and we can carry on as normal. In the absence of any FACTS, I think that the German approach is correct. Put up or shut up. -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services
So far there have been only threats. Now that SCO will attempt to get an injunction, you'd expect IBM to fight it in court, and therefor the "interesting" part. But then I guess you will not see that... Avi On Tuesday, Jun 17, 2003, at 02:59 America/Chicago, Derek Fountain wrote:
