SCO to seek fees from Linux users (ZDNet)

[Posted January 14, 2003 by corbet]

Here's a ZDNet article with a plausible view on what SCO is really planning to do to extract money from some Linux users "Sources said SCO plans to charge for use of two software 'libraries,' essential packages of pre-written software that higher-level programs routinely call on to perform basic operations such as opening files. A source said SCO libraries that accompany the SVR4 and OSR5 versions of Unix may be used with UnixWare and OpenServer, respectively, but using them in conjunction with Linux is prohibited by the software's license."
