So, in the latest move against Unix/Linux/*BSD, MS will buy out SCO, and
then insist that everyone with the letters "L", "U", "N", "I", "X", "B",
"S", and "D" on their computer keyboards will have to take out a
license, which will be priced $10 higher than that of a comparible
license for XP. Thus forcing nervous PIB's everywhere to buy MS .....
Now what I really want to know is why SCO is not also sueing MS, as the
TCP/IP code in Windows is derived/stolen/heavily copied from BSD, which
in turn is stolen from SCO, isn't it --- at least as SCO sees it?
