Darl McBride (CEO of SCO) has been attacking the GPL as well as Linux.
In a keynote speech he recently said:
"At the end of the day, the GPL is not about making software free;
it's about destroying value."
Yet, at the same event SCO also announced the incorporation of the
Samba3 release into their latest OpenServer product.
Samba responds here: http://us1.samba.org/samba/samba.html
Personally I think Samba showed too much restraint. I think they should
come out with a new version of the GPL that is basically the same,
except it forbids SCO from using/distributing the software.
And yes Ralph, SCO still sucks ... :-)
