RE: [SLE] [OT] SCO after SuSE and Redhat
Is Unix came from them? I thought it is from AT&T Bell labs.
True "UNIX" was co-developed at AT&T labs... part of the 'co' development was done by a Prof. from Berkeley (hence the BSD derivative.) Several years back, SCO bought UNIXlabs, which at that point was the holder of the AT&T UNIX copyright/patent.
What about free BSD?
See my first line about the BSD derivative... the Prof from UCB basically petitioned for his legal access to the source code, then turned around and "gave" it away. Giving rise to things like SunOS <= 4.x versions, BSDi, FreeBSD, IRIX <= 5.x, etc.
Why these SCO guys not sue all the car maker because they are all use the newton law without paying royalties to Newton family.
Hey now... you talk like Ransom Love... do you work for Caldera? LOL, I just remember golden rule, if someone can do one thing, so anybody else. Kind of "analogy". Anyway, whats wrong with them. I never use Caldera? Just SuSE since 6.2 :-) Edwin

Nothing is wrong per se... Ransom Love is the (I believe) CEO of Caldera who seems to have made a career of buying failed companies and creating lawsuits to promote himself. Example: Caldera bought Digital Research (makers of the DR DOS - former MS competitor) and then sued MS blaming them for DR's demise... and the list goes on. (Not that I have any love for MS... but this is prolly one of the more well known suites he has filed.)

And famous for shooting his mouth off to irritate the community. After all he was the one who created that UnitedLinux "per seat license" fiasco.
