Otherwise a clearly better business model, Linux, which is gaining ground daily, will wipe out most current proprietry software companies. Close enough?

My take is Clearly, we were almost taken over by a Linux company, but we managed to wrestle them into submission during the merger. Now we are going to make sure these Linux assholes pay dearly by striking back. -- burns ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: SCO speaks the truth
LOL .. welll DUHHH ... of course he does .. BUT, trying to to be one whom does not subscribe to conspiracy theories, you must ask, Exactly WHO does this sound like?, and WHO has maintained (and whined) about free software, and in MUCH the same way?
