>>McNealy compared the Linux community to Napster's MP3 swashbucklers and referred darkly to the copyright liability dangers of opting for the open-source "lifestyle."<<

McNealy is parroting McBride here. Should be no surprise to anybody who can see through their little scam.

>>There's no free lunch here. Sun can't placate SCO and also respect the intellectual property rights of the Linux kernel developers. If there's to be a Sun Linux, then it will carry the same phantom taint as Red Hat Linux or SuSE Linux or SCO's own UnitedLinux offering.<<
