Do NOT Piss Off The Linux Users! |
|
 In the continuing story of a quack who's gone to the dogs, the SCO group's Web site was down much of the weekend due to a distributed denial of service attack. This is according to a CNET article, where it's stated that it's unclear who that attackers were, but "unofficial open-source spokesman Eric Raymond" opined that it could have been "someone angry at comments from SCO executives criticizing the open-source community's role in the legal battles over Linux". (Linux folks angry at SCO!?? NOOOOOOOOO!)
A quick recap for anyone who hasn't been following this story taken from the aforementioned CNET article):
SCO claims that IBM illegally inserted Unix code into its version of Linux and has sent letters to corporations, warning them that they may be violating copyright laws by using the Linux operating system.
For a more thorough dicussion, refer to HTML Samurai's previous article.
Now, will this affect Mac users? Probably not much, as OS X is based on BSD which doesn't contain the source code SCO claims copyright on. However, we may see some fallout if SCO happens to win its case against IBM. There's really no telling what may happen, but some Linux users may jump ship to OS X, some may just neglect to pay the licensing fee to SCO, or the various Linux-ey OSes may just be able to take the portions of code out that SCO claims is theirs (that code has been opened to the public BTW).
In any case, this story should get more interesting as it develops!

LOL...well you had to be a fan of The Muppet Show. You're a lot younger so you may not have seen it. If not, you owe it to yourself to check out an ep or two.

Nice article BTW, but shall we save it for tomorrow? Make everyone hungry for what's going to happen to David Duncan tomorrow? It's like a cliffhanger! (Also, are you checking email from school?)

I think college administrators should encourage students to urinate on walls and bushes, because then when students from another college come sniffing around, they'll know that it's someone else's territory.
