[olug] SCOx Sues A Customer

[Charles Bird]

I know of a company in council-tucky here that is 
switching to suse and getting rid of redhat. It is 
primarly to cover their asses in the event of a lawsuit. 
If I had a business of a large size then I would do the 
same, to give SCO any money would be insane considering 
that they are currently in court trying to prove that they 
do in fact own all copyrights to UNIX.  
  I know that somewhere in the world there is a hardcore 
geek with a rocket launcher thinking about going to SLC. 
I'm not saying that they should but I bet there is someone 
thinking about it.  
  Its gonna be a long battle.
