RE: [OT] SCO vs IBM
Hi Ken,
The best resource I have found was the Halloween 9 Document, titled:
"It Ain't Necessarily SCO" at
http://www.opensource.org/halloween/halloween9.html
There is no doubt that the SCO won't win the court case ... but they
might win a percentage of the "FUD" campaign.
I'm a big fan of Open Source and if you have time you might like to
read the books:
* The Cathedral and the Bazaar
* Free as in Freedom
* OpenSources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution
freely available from:
http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/
I very much enjoyed reading all of these books, found them very
informative and very thought provoking.
Regards,
Ray Smith
