SCO System V for Linux WTF!!!



Hi List,

SCO is FUD'ing like a MUD'er:
http://www.caldera.com/products/ssvl/ssvl_faq.html

"1.      Why is SCO creating the SCO System V for Linux product?

SCO has a large amount of intellectual property in its shared libraries
that are required to run UNIX applications on top of Linux. We are
simply asking vendors, developers, and customers who make use of these
libraries to pay a reasonable software-licensing fee to SCO in order to
use these libraries. "

[...]

"13. What are the alternatives for customers with SCO UNIX applications
that they would like to run on Linux?

A customer wishing to running a UNIX application on Linux could try to
purchase or develop that same application natively on Linux without
requiring SCOs libraries, but changing application formats could be a
tenfold cost increase over licensing SCOs libraries. "


They claim that you need their libraries to run Unix programs on Linux.
Like Jesus. H. Christ they don't own motherf$#$#in POSIX.
