SCO Versus the Linux World

SCO Versus the Linux World 06/10/2004 08:01 AM

Washington Post: Showdown With The Linux Gang. Working largely on their own time, Linux devotees apply their collaborative model for creating software, known as open source, to attack SCO and its case. Dozens of online detectives comb corporate documents, analyze legal filings and publish everything they can find about the company, its finances, management and connections to Microsoft. One Web site focused exclusively on the case, known as Groklaw, was started by a paralegal named Pamela Jones and now has roughly 5,000 contributors. Though it is ardently pro-Linux, the site has grown into such an exhaustive archive of software history and law that attorneys on both sides use it as a resource. "Our international membership means SCO can't do anything anywhere on the planet without someone seeing it and telling on them," Jones said in an e-mail interview.

This may be the best roundup of the SCO case by any mainstream newspaper. Note the tip of the hat to Groklaw, which is clearly the single best repository of information about the case. Groklaw is in my book as a particularly fine example of grassroots journalism, where people at the edges of the networks are feeding data back into the middle and then back out to the edges. This is a powerful trend. I'm glad to see it used for such excellent purposes in this situation.

Welcoming EDS to the world of Linux

Welcoming EDS to the world of Linux 03/22/2005 03:45 PM
Commentary: EDS, the giant computer services company, apparently doesn't like Linux much right now. EDS vice president of Global Alliances Robb Rasmussen recently told ZDNet Australia, "From a corporate perspective, we are not confident where Linux is right now today. A large enterprise needs to be sure because it relates to securifying [sic] the environment. We see some of the same things occurring that did to Unix -- it could splinter into many different types of languages. We are quite cautious about Linux and its deployment." Uh huh. But companies that issue anti-Linux statements like this often end up embracing Linux before long. That's why I want to extend a welcoming hand to EDS instead of getting upset over that egregious statement.

The Linux World Tour

The Linux World Tour 07/04/2004 11:19 PM

Microsoft slashes prices as Paris eyes Linux: First, Munich, now Paris? The Linux World Tour is gaining steam. Governments could be the beginning of the tidal wave.

In another sign competition is heating up in the software industry, Microsoft has slashed prices by more than half for Paris City Hall as the French capital considers switching to low-cost open-source programs.

The software giant agreed to cut prices to suppliers who work with the city "to the order of" 60%, said a Paris official, who spoke on condition of anonymity Thursday.

I get the feeling that Microsoft would sell at loss to avoid losing to Linux.

There are several word processors in GNU/Linux, each with different goals and features. Some are free software, some are based on free software, some are proprietary. What do you, as an amateur or professional writer, need to consider in such programs when moving to GNU/Linux?
