Reminds me of the good burghers of SCO and that little shitty they tried to pull off in the beginning of the century. It didn't end well.

It didn't end well.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoSure it did. Linux.
- justinlardinois 11y agoBoth the Linux kernel and the GNU OS predate Caldera acquiring the Santa Cruz Operation and turning into a lawsuit house.
- ArkyBeagle 11y agoBut SCO preceeded Linux. If there'd been a cheap version of SCO in the first half of the 1990s, I doubt I'd have looked twice at Linux. My employer at the time did look at SCO, but WFWG solved the problem for us. But your sequencing is dead on. It's a messy story.
- justinlardinois 11y agoAh. I think the original commenter was referring to the lawsuits, not to SCO's business model when it actually had products and services.
