RedHat Getting Dirty for Themselves, Their Customers and for YOU.
Author: HumanX | Monday August 04, 2003
Red Hat on Monday August 4, 2003 unleashes the fury.
This is one of the reasons I have always been a fan of Red Hat, Matthew Szulik loves a good fight. The guy plays fair, but if you force a negative response, he has shown in the past he is more then willing to put the gloves on.
Red Hat CEO Matthew Szulik said at a news conference: "We have asked the courts to declare, 'No violation of intellectual property and trade secrets have occurred,'" Szulik said. "We've been patient, we've listened, but when our customers and the whole open-source community are threatened with innuendo and rumor, it's time to act"
Go Get'em Red Hat.
Get'em Novel.
Get'em IBM.
SCO rebuffed Red Hat's assertions. "SCO's claims are true, and we look forward to proving them in court," the company said in a statement. "SCO has not been trying to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt to end-users. We have been educating end-users on the risks of running an operating system that is an unauthorized derivative of Unix. Linux includes source code that is a verbatim copy of Unix and carries with it no warranty or indemnification."
You know, the funny thing is, SCO has been spreading FUD. It has been over a month now and know one still knows what source code SCO is talking about. "We have been educating end-users" <- Yeah, educating users on how you just might get sued if you utilize a Linux operating system.
Hey SCO, don't wimp out now. You have basically alienated yourselves from the entire computing world and your only ally is MS. So go ahead and say you are spreading FUD, it will not change a thing.
So I say all of us out their downloading the free versions of RedHat, maybe now is the time to purchase the bare minimum, the personal or professional Red Hat edition. It is hard for the little guy to get into the mix, but if Red Hat wants to Duke it out with SCO, lets support Red Hat by purchasing more of their product and showing SCO where we all stand.
