[TriLUG] SCO Linux License

[P. L. Charles Fischer]

 From news.com:

"SCO Group, the Unix copyright holder that's threatening Linux-using 
companies with legal action if they don't pay for a license to run the 
open-source operating system, said Monday that one company in the Fortune 
500 list of the world's biggest corporations had been convinced by its 
arguments. SCO declined to say which company took out the license or to 
reveal licensing specifics."

So who do you think bought the license?

What company is smart enough to use Linux and still dumb enough to buy the 
SCO license?

My answer to the second question is that nobody using Linux has paid SCO.

So my answer to the first question must be Microsoft. I am sure Microsoft 
has Linux running in labs, running bench marks and trying to break Samba. 
It fits with the Microsoft MO to buy the SCO license. More FUD thrown at Linux.
