Legal challenge to Linux (Fud from Sco)

Posted in technology | April 6th, 2004

Need to know more about “The Lawsuit”?

If you’re interested in the general hoo-ha surrounding the SCO group and their challenge to Linux, head over to groklaw.net/ where Pamela Jones will keep you informed on the case. A big site with a lot of user-feedback.

If you want the Open Source perspective on the situation, no better place than Eric Raymond’s “Halloween Documents”.

When i say “Fud from Sco” i use the acronym that means “Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt”, a well known strategy used by large software firms to protect their interests against the threat of free software.
