SCO attempts to kill Linux
Could SCO Be the Death of Linux? Unix vendor SCO is suing IBM, claiming Linux stole its Unix, then gave it away to the world. The Open Source Initiative just fired back with a stinging rebuke, claiming that the suit could kill Linux off just as it's starting to gain traction. Anticipating a huge legal mess, the other big enterprise OS player, Microsoft, just licensed source code and software patents from SCO. So now Big Green's in Happyland, while IBM and Linux are in the doghouse -- at least according to SCO. What will the judge say? If you use Linux or open source anywhere in your organization, this may be the most important story of the year!
