2007 Linux and free software timeline: August
The company is obviously disappointed with the ruling issued last
Friday. However, the court clearly determined that SCO owns the copyrights
to the technology developed or derived by SCO after Novell transferred the
assets to SCO in 1995.
Novell is ruled to be the owner of Unix, shooting a big hole in
SCO's case (article).
-- The SCO Group looks on the bright side. KDE 4.0 beta 1 is released (announcement). MySQL stops distributing code for its Enterprise Server product (announcement). Freespire 2.0 is released (press release). The ClamAV project is acquired by Sourcefire (press release).
A fox in a chicken suit is still a fox and is still planning to eat his
chickens. So only a stupid farmer would reason that a fox in a chicken
suit, even one made from real chicken feathers, should now be allowed to
reside in his chicken coop with his tasty chickens. Farmers are supposed to
consider what foxes are known to do to chickens and what a fox's motives
and likely purpose might be in putting on a chicken suit and sweetly pawing
on the door to the henhouse.
Microsoft submits two of its licenses for OSI approval (MCL, MPL).
-- Groklaw explains Microsoft's submission XenSource is acquired by Citrix (press release). The GNOME project celebrates its tenth anniversary (announcement).
The OpenBSD community goes ballistic over the proposed relicensing
(to GPL) of some Atheros driver code (article).
