SCO Turns Up the Heat on Linux Users (eWeek)
I can't help wondering about the mental state of this Darl McBride - he seems to have gone out on limb altogether. My guess is that in one or two weeks' time he will start talking about how using Linux and other OSS is 'communism' or 'terrorism'.
However, I must say that what we see with SCO is symptomatic of the entire state of 'American Crony Capitalism' - and let me say immediately that I am NOT amti-American, and I am NOT against good and healthy open market competition etc (although I do have reservation about capitalism). But after having seen Enron etc etc as well as the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq based on not even the weakest hint of legal reason, I can't really say that SCO is much out of line. They are just doing what they see bigger companies and the American government (am I repeating myself here?) doing.
