I am a promoter of Open Source Development. I laughed when I read this article and the letter that Darl McBride wrote to congress.

Ya know, I would seriously rethink using that man as the CEO of my company if he acted the way he does.

SCO seems to have changed their revenue generation plans.  It went from "Produce quality product for sale" to "Sue andybody for false reasons, and use FUD to foster and environment that I can win those legal battles easily".

Oh how SCO has sunk to new levels.:rolleyes:

What in the world was that statement
"Instead of UNIX from any number of US companies or Windows from Microsoft, governments throughout Europe and Asia are using Linux… I find this particularly galling because that Linux software contains thousands of lines of my company's proprietary UNIX code - for which we receive no revenue."
and
"Open Source software - available widely through the Internet - has the potential to provide our nation's enemies or potential enemies with computing capabilities that are restricted by US law. A computer expert in North Korea who has a number of personal computers and an Internet connection can download the latest version of Linux, complete with multi-processing capabilities misappropriated from UNIX, and, in short order, build a virtual supercomputer."
What Capabilities is he talking about and if they are restricted in the US... Well we don't Govern N. Korea.

I was on the floor laughing after reading these two statments. it sound like a high school cheerleader trying to run for Student body Pres. and whine the whole way to the bottom.

That's 'cause it was all qoutest of McBride after he has consumed large quantities of a hallucinagenic material without sharing said material with anyone else.
