OSDL Releases Position Paper on SCO and LinuxOSDL Releases Position Paper on SCO and LinuxPosted Aug 1, 2003 21:33 UTC (Fri) by walterbyrd (guest, #11620)In reply to: OSDL Releases Position Paper on SCO and Linux by donwaugaman Parent article: OSDL Releases Position Paper on SCO and Linux >>but if threats like this can get companies to pay for a "binary license" they will have served their purpose. << Actually, I don't think that is there purpose. In fact, I don't think scox want's anybody to buy a unixware license just to buy the right to use linux - if that happend, it might be a legal headache for scox. The real purpose is to pump the stock price. Traders think: "everybody else is going to think that scox unixware sales will skyrocket." So they buy scox for a quick trade, and the stock price goes up. Canopy Group is just trying to back out of some bad investments they made during the bubble. And it's working like a charm. SCO was less than a dollar a share before this scam started, now scox is selling for $13.25 a a share, and you better believe that insiders are selling like mad.
