Great SCOtt! (linux, oss)

Here’s a good chuckle at SCO’s expense:

“If SCO thought threat-born licensing fees would provide a quick boost to the bottom line, it looks to have miscalculated. As fellow Fool Tom Taulli noted last month, SCO has tried to cast its lawsuits in apocalyptic terms. But with the entire computing world putting its money behind Linux, it appears that, for SCO, the apocalypse is now.” [The Motley Fool Jan 15]

Groklaw, already had a link to it by the time news reached my ears [Jan 15].

Enjoy. :-)

SCO-sleazy: Discounts for using proprietary software (linux, oss)

SCO Will Give Customers a Discount To Drop Linux and Use Any Proprietary Software [Groklaw Nov 7]

SCO isn’t putting out press releases like it used to. Surely it wants you to know that it has cooked up yet another way to be loathsome to Linux.
