Buying SCOBuying SCOPosted Jun 13, 2003 15:21 UTC (Fri) by allesfresser (subscriber, #216)In reply to: Buying SCO by emkey Parent article: Did SCO open Unix source code? (ZDNet) Of course, there are other companies with really deep pockets that might like to snag the "IP" once its ownership has been established in court... and then where would we be? Does the prospect of a certain company in Redmond bidding for that code successfully scare y'all as much as it scares me?

Buying SCO Posted Jun 13, 2003 22:39 UTC (Fri) by vksgeneric (guest, #11932) [Link] NSA? Not possible, but it would have been the best outcome possible. If they want to outlaw anything, they can do it already. But if they own the IP and don't outlaw the stuff, it effectively means it becomes public domain.If you meet a monster that is about to bite your head off, would you rather meet one that hates you (competes with you, that is), or one that doesn't really care whether you exist?
