SCO starts suing Linux users
Xeen:
SCO has sued a company for using a Linux OS, claiming that doing so violates their copyrights.

This makes me wonder two things:
1. Will they eventaully start trying to sue general home Linux users like the RIAA
2. How is OSX safe from this? It's basically a Linux distro too.

OSX is not basically a linux distro. Its not even close to linux. So, OSX is very safe.
worker201:
Exactly what do they think they own? And which distro does AutoZone use? The article was kinda unclear.

But OSX is Unix, which SCO claims to own.
