A SCO, que processou a Novell e a IBM devido ao Linux, perdeu uma das causas (contra a Novell). Agora provavelmente irá perder a causa contra a IBM.

Enquanto isso, a SCO luta contra a falência:

esse caso eh classico…

Perderam todos os casos!! e tudo leva a crer que eles só entraram pela falta de receitas/lucros.

Para quem lembra, a sco é a antiga calderam systems que fazia de tudo para tornar o linux um sistema operacional comercial!!

By 1997 Caldera had taken on the form that it would be most remembered for. Caldera had switched over to the high end Linux product. The “business” linux distribution became more rich with features with bundled proprietary software. However, it became less community oriented and was released less frequently than other Linuxes did. Other differences included automated configuration for administration tools, paid technical support staff, built-in consistent default GUI, and a range of supported applications. In 1995, for example when XFree86 was still very hard to configure and unreliable on most chip sets, Caldera had shipped with MetroLink’s Motif and XI Graphic’s Accelerated-X.

o sistema open linux acabou… ainda bem que eu tive o “previlegio” de ver esta distro rodando em minha máquina :))
