"June 10, 2002 United They Stand; United They Fall /By / /John Taschek/ <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Some call it the gang of four. Some call it an attack on Red Hat. I call UnitedLinux a practical move to thwart Red Hat's domination and to enable proprietary intellectual property to be added to Linux distributions. Oh, and, yes, it's an act surely rooted in desperation. ... It remains to be seen whether this technology will be substantially different from what is already available. It is clear, based on past conversations with Love, that proprietary intellectual property will be added to the distributions. This intellectual property will surely be enhanced further by IBM, HP, SAP and Intel--four UnitedLinux backers that have been struggling to find ways of getting patented technology into the mainly open-source Linux distributions." Para o pessoal que n�o entendeu o ingl�s, o autor est� dizendo que o UnitedLinux � uma forma de adicionar tecnologia propriet�ria e patenteada �s distribui��es linux baseadas no UnitedLinux (que est� sendo vendido como o linux para grandes empresas). Isto realmente tem sentido; daqui a pouco teremos linux para hobistas e pobres que n�o tem dinheiro para gastar e linux com extens�es propriet�rias para rodar SAP, DB/2 e outros softwares propriet�rios (e caros) tradicionais.
