Does this mean the end of lawsuits against Linux or pieces thereof? I don’t think so. Linux and its licensing system represents a fundamentally different set of thinking from the corporate world. For some Linux is a belief system. Personally I like it and wish more companies supported it for day to day operations in user-land. My server closet is full of Linux in backbone operations.
The suit by SCO against Linux was more of a puppet show run by bigger players than SCO. It was set up in a win-WIN situation for these puppet masters. Win 1, only SCO or Linux is out of the picture. WIN 2, both are out of the picture. Somehow it only polarized the Linux fan base by martyring Linus T. with only minimal overall effect on SCO which was already setup to get itself out of the corporate picture.
Any guesses on the next round?
