[ros-general] SCO lobbying congress about Linux, GPL and Open Source

[Ian McLean]

Hi everyone,

I have read something interesting on another list (PIC List), and seeing as
it is also topical to ROS, I thought I would pass this link on for everyone
here.  I expect this will generate a lot of comment ...

PS: Reactos is looking great. Fantastic work everyone :-)

Hi all!
Good read, but it's still more of the De-rail McBlab twisted interpretation of the
copyright law and GPL. Making more false assertions about Linux using proprietary
SCO code.

Whaaaa Whaaaa, MOMMY! Linus is not playing fare!

Heh. If worse comes to worse we still have the EU, Asia, Africa and
South America. 

ReactOS is a lot bigger than any one country or market. Besides
Microsoft and the gimp on a leash SCO may want this but the rest of the
market doesnt and while Microsoft may give a lot of money to the
current administration, the rest of the IT industry of the US is a lot
bigger and want to have a option with Linux, BSD and other
FreeSoftware.

Thanks
Steven
