SCO Suspends Linux Sales, Warns Linux Shops of Liabilities
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Back in March, SCO Group launched a $1 billion lawsuit against IBM asserting that it had willfully distributed Unix intellectual property owned by SCO to the Linux community and had undermined the Unix market with anti-competitive business practices.

Microsoft Licenses Unix from SCO Group
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Everybody is wondering when and where the next shoe is going to drop as the recently litigious SCO Group is prowling around the operating system business looking for companies who have purportedly stolen the Unix intellectual property it owns. Microsoft has enough legal problems--including some with SCO back in the late 1990s--and has decided to license Unix from SCO. This is exactly the course of action that SCO wants all other platform providers to take. READ MORE >

As I See It: Softwareism and Countersoftwareism
by Victor Rozek
I love my home state. Beyond its natural splendor, it holds a special place in the social evolution of the nation. Oregon is a legislative gadfly. Oregon entertains more than its share of visionary and controversial legislation, including the first bottle bill, death with dignity, and universal medical coverage.
