An IBM executive has claimed that a "set of forces" is attempting to
derail Linux, and hinted that Microsoft and SCO Group are among those
responsible.
Al Zollar, a general manager of sales for IBM eServer iSeries, told
delegates attending the company's Asia Pacific Strategic Planning
Conference in Queensland, Australia, on Tuesday that a "set of forces"
was attempting to stymie adoption of the open-source operating system.
"They're mostly located in Redmond, although they have recruited a few
allies," said Zollar. Microsoft has its headquarters in Redmond, Wash.
Zollar then indicated that SCO was part of the alliance. The company,
based in Lindon, Utah, has made intellectual property claims to certain
code contained in some versions of Linux and is maneuvering to gather
license fees from commercial applications of the operating system. . .
