Hi,

First, thanks to Rick for the link. Cool stuff, although I don't think the
legal outcome is a surprize or anything.

Yeah, SCO is done. Don't forget, IBM has countersuits against SCO too. And
IBM is intending to bury SCO over this anyway. Don't expect IBM to relent
on those intents. SCO is done -- as they should be.

And everyone should keep in mind that SCO was just the agent -- Microsoft
and Sun Microsystems deliberately funded this attack on the Linux
ecosystem. I'm not forgeting that myself.

The Linux ecosystem has given me a deterministic path to financial
security -- free of any specific corporate interests. Oh I work
for corporations, but I don't have to compromise my principles to
anyone or any organization -- because of the strength of the Linux
and OSS ecosystem. And this attack by Microsoft and Sun Microsystems
was an attack on all of us who collectively constitute the Linux and OSS
ecosystem.

Thanks,
Karen
