Boycott SCO
|
Quote:
The SCO Group (aka Caldera Systems) has launched a major threat to
the Linux OS by suing IBM for $1 billion for IP violations. Their
core argument is that Linux would have remained a hobbyist OS if
IBM had not leaked SCO's Unix IP into it.
This is bad because:
o It creates a lot of FUD about the legality of linux and the
safety of corporate IP when Free/Open Source Sotware is used.
o It implies that we (the Free and Open Source community) do not
have the competence to produce quality software without stealing
IP.
This, therefore, is a call to boycott all Caldera and SCO products.
Do not use or recommend the use of:
* Caldera OpenLinux
* SCO Linux
* SCO OpenServer
* SCO UnixWare
