Another open letter from Darl McBride,
CEO of SCO

Another open letter from Darl McBride,
CEO of SCO 12/04/2003 04:49 PM
Since last March The SCO Group ("SCO") has been involved in an increasingly rancorous legal controversy over violations of our UNIX intellectual property contract, and what we assert is the widespread presence of our copyrighted UNIX code in Linux. These controversies will rage for at least another 18 months, until our original case comes to trial. Meanwhile, the issues SCO has raised have become one of the hottest technology stories of the year, and often our positions on these issues have been misunderstood or misrepresented. Starting with this letter, I'd like to explain our positions on the key issues. In the months ahead we'll post a series of letters on the SCO website (www.sco.com). Each of these letters will examine one of the many issues SCO has raised. In this letter, we'll provide our view on the key issue of U.S. copyright law versus the GNU GPL (General Public License).

More on SCO's War on Linux

More on SCO's War on Linux 06/23/2004 03:52 PM

Brad Stone (Wired): The Linux Killer. If SCO loses, the company is likely toast. But winning will be a tall order. SCO must show that the old, murky contracts between AT&T (which developed Unix), Novell (which bought the operating system from AT&T in 1993), and the old Santa Cruz Operation deliberately transferred the Unix copyrights to the new SCO Group; it also must show that it owns the rights to derivative flavors of Unix, like IBM's AIX. Finally, and perhaps most difficult, SCO must prove IBM and other Linux programmers around the world got sloppy and ported proprietary code into Linux. Legal experts tracking the case think each hurdle - let alone all three - is difficult to clear. The odds are clearly against SCO.

Virus continues spread, launches attack

Virus continues spread, launches attack 02/10/2004 02:47 AM

The MyDoom virus, which has been racing across the internet for the past week, continues to spread. As analysts had predicted, unremoved copies of the program began a distributed denial of service attack yesterday on the Web site for the SCO Group.

SCO has received attention for its high-profile campaign to win licensing fees from Linux users, whom, SCO argues, are using some code to which SCO claims patent ownership. The DoS attacks are coded to continue through February 12th. In the meantime, SCO has set up an alternative site .

However, the SCO attack might be a ruse, a misdirection, or only one component of a larger strategy: to set up distributed relays for sending spam .

A variant virus is also operating, and is coded to attack Microsoft's home page. Its infection rate has been minor, however.

Novell Continues Linux Push, Buys SUSE

Novell Continues Linux Push, Buys SUSE 11/04/2003 01:20 PM
Well, just about everyone is discussing this story this morning, so just a quick note on the news that Novell has bought SUSE Linux just a few months after buyin g Ximian. Connecting the two very obvious dots isn't particularly difficult (which also makes the third "anti-SCO" dot a little more understandable). The deal also includes an investment from IBM, of which much will probably be spent fending off angry SCO lawyers.

Apparently encouraged by the warm reception to his D ecember letter, SCO Group CEO Darl McBride has now been writing letters to members of Congress. This is a template of a letter he is apparently distributing generally throughout Washington. Like his last letter, this one too has no relation to the truth. Indeed, it is even more extreme than the last.
