RedHat has sued SCO to clear up the copyright infringement question/threat. They have also set up a legal fund for open source software.

Yeah! Go RH!

People often say they've become the M$ of Linux, but that doesn't seem to be true since they've set up that fund.

Damn straight, Redhat! Good to hear!

P.S. nah, LindowsOS has become the MS of Linux

Go RH! I hope they drag M$ down with them.

Yeah, you got that right. But some people say that about RH, but it doesn't seem like it to me; they're still really a part of the open source community, unlike Lindows.

I found this gem in forbes' coverage of this announcement.

Linux geeks howled a bit, but then wrote off SCO as a bunch of sleazebags and went back to playing live-action roleplaying (LARP) games in their mothers' basements, or whatever it is they do when they're not writing device drivers and complaining about clueless end users.

aren't news articles suppposed to be objective? (unless you are slashdot

)

I still don't trust them.....I still think $CO are lying. Still think there in cahoots with M$.

Interestingly most developers and Dev studios seem to be ignoring $CO, with only an estimated 12% dropping Linux development as a result of $CO action.

SCO's latest response:
Pay $700 to use Linux

Oh and you better not work with the Linux source code either or your licence is revoked.

And according to Slashdot
the price will DOUBLE after October 15.

Here is a direct quote from McBride to RedHat.
"I must say that your decision to file legal action does not seem conducive to the long-term survivability of Linux."

Wow - my respect for Red Hat has gone up and I may actually like Suse now... One good thing about SCO, they're helping us see who has balls in Free Software land. Except Debian. Debian doesn't have to contribute because they have no money.
