- bombcar 4y ago> Microsoft, which had not yet learned to love Linux, funded SCO and loudly bought licenses from the company. They could go into more detail how SCO vs IBM ended up being a proxy war for larger corporations and interests, but it's a short article and it gets most of the high points.
- tpmx 4y ago> but it's a short article and it gets most of the high points. I disagree. It's a pretty detailed article (~1800 words) and Microsoft's role just gets a passing mention.
