More on the SCO/LINUX saga here is what a certail Bill Baxter predicted in 2000 Bill Baxter - Subject: Not Open Source, I'm afraid. ( Feb 23, 2000, 00:01:50 )
Note that these releases are not open source. SCO retain rights to the source code. Maybe they even hope that some of their code will wind up in linux, so that they can then sue, and render the Linux license terms invalid. Or would they be that spiteful? My guess == yes
.
And here is my new phone - when they are released in the autumn. loads of improvements over my existing treo270. Especially inbuilt mp3 player and camera. also ability to record conversations. it looks a winner to me. No wonder Palm wanted to buy Handspring!
More on the SCO story here apparently these guys have a history of buying old code and suing people even suing microsoft over sone DOS code and winning. Doesnt bode well for the Linux community especially since Microsoft are now behind them.
