SCO Threatens to Press IP Claims on Linux -$99/cpu
"New [0]story on LinuxBusiness week says SCO is about
to mount an effort to get all Linux sites to pay a per cpu license for
so-called patent violations."SCO has been proposing to charge users $96
per CPU for a so-called one-time System 5 for Linux software license to
protect their systems from SCO-enforced patent issues if they ante up
as soon as demand is made." They've retained David Boies (DOJ
prosecutor of Microsoft) to handle the legal issues." Note: I've been
unable to substantiate this - which are fairly incendiary claims.
Further updates as more is heard.
