"Biting the Hand That Feeds IT" SCO vs IBM

Recommended Posts

Guest
Interesting essay on The Register this morning about the SCO / IBM brouhaha.

Here's a telling quote from IBM's response to SCO (linked in the piece):

"D. Failure of SCO's Business

20. Although it completed an initial public offering, SCO has failed to establish a successful business around Linux. SCO's Linux business has never generated a profit. In fact, the company as a whole did not experience a profitable quarter until after it abandoned its Linux business and undertook its present scheme to extract windfall profits from UNIX technology that SCO played no role in developing."
