Experts: SCO is going down for the count

Quoting:[It] couldn't happen to a nicer gang of scum-sucking leeches.

Amen :-)

For you free software purists, that's GNU/leeches.

Gleeches.

Kleeches for the KDE crowd.

Gotta love the law of unintended consequences. Through no good will of their own, Darl and co. have given free software a great big wet one, right on the mouth.

Their idiocy put IBM in the middle of Linux's IP credibility. Bad move for them, good move for us. Great big warning to Microsoft should it actually try walking the walk to match it's talk on patents.

Add in a few other tidbits:

1. Recent Supreme Court ruling on contestability of patents, 2. Microsoft's defeat on OOXML 3. Surge of Firefox 4. EU decision against Microsoft

and I think lots of concern over FOSS IP and viability goes up in smoke.

All nice and great but,

Never let you guard down, period. While you've got your eye on the monster, your friend may stab you in the back.

You mean like Novell's deal ! Yap, I see your point.

Sorry Dino, I couldn't resist. :)

I was thinking more like GPLV3, but different courses for different horses.
