SCO to bundle Linux licence with Unix line
Found on vnunet.com on Thursday, 05 August 2004
SCO claims that Linux users need to buy the licences because Linux contains some of its intellectual property, placed there without consent.
He admitted that only 20 to 30 organisations have now bought an SCO Linux licence since it was launched.
Sontag blamed action by Novell, which has claimed ownership of the Unix copyrights, for slowing down licence sales. "Some people have used that as an excuse to wait," he said.
Sontag claimed that licence sales are slowly increasing, but "not as fast as I would like".
Seems like they finally realized that their efforts to license Linux are doomed. Having failed countless times to provide evidence, that's not really a surprise. Even now they blame others; after all it was their own inability of providing proof.
