In my opinion, McBride (lowlife, sniveling dog that he is) nevertheless makes a valid point: that if Open Source does not have a mechanism in place to prevent a repetition of the SGI developer's violation of IP, then large enterprises will not take the risk of using it. Why use an OS if it allows people like SCO to crawl out from under a rock with a multimillion dollar lawsuit in hand?
Bill Beinert Systems Programming Con Edison (212) 460-4853 When they took the fourth amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs! When they took the sixth amendment, I was quiet because, I was innocent. When they took the second amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun! Now they've taken the first amendment, and I can say (or do) nothing about it. The Second Amendment is in place in case they ignore the others. MODWN DAbE
