The following is an excerpt from the article.
Looks quite scary to me.
The company, which is at the heart of a controversial lawsuit over Linux code, said that it plans to offer licenses that will support run-time, binary use of Linux to all companies that use Linux kernel 2.4 versions and later.
i think the people behind sco are complete idiots... they couldn't make any money off of their crappy version of linux, so now they wanna sue ibm for $3 billion and then take control of the licensing of the linux kernel?
where the hell is linus torvalds? he should go up to sco and revoke their ability to use linux, say "linux", or even think about linux.
sco needs to grow up. they do not own linux, and they are not the linux police.
