Linux doesn't exist!
At least that's what SCO is claiming now. All a figment of our collective imagination. Probably just to repress the memories of us all stealing all that code from SCO. I'm sure the memories of the thousands of programmers who have contributed millions of lines of code and countless hours of time to Linux projects over the past 13 years is all just a mass hallucination brought on by our guilt.


Quote:
Claiming it is impossible to win a PR war against the likes of IBM, O'Shaughnessy said he's confident the public hysteria will subside over the next six months as "the truth unfolds" and SCO's adds "meat to the bare bones of the case" allowing commentators to get a different view of the facts.

"The true story will unfold as court filings continue and everyone gets to see our side of the story; the IT industry as a whole will take a different view and see we have been dumped on from a great height," he said.

"There will be less of the IBM spin version of events and the courts are the right place for it to come out."

SCO, he said, doesn't just expect financial compensation but removal of the stolen code.

"Linux doesn't exist. Everyone knows Linux is an unlicensed version of Unix," he added.


LinuxWorld story.

1. It's the Rambus business model
I'm surprised it's taking so long for them to get laughed out of business.
