After a brief respite, Linux.Ars returns with a follow-up to the KDE 3.2 overview ? an interview with former Harmony head Jo Dillon. There's also some analysis of the licensing mess with XFree86 4.4. In addition, the crew opines on the latest legal barrage from SCO ? the lawsuits filed today against AutoZone and DaimlerChrysler:
After months of posturing and threats, the SCO Group has finally made true on its threats to sue "a major Linux user," dropping the lawsuit hammer on auto parts retailer AutoZone and German auto manufacturer DaimlerChrysler. The AutoZone lawsuit demands that the company stop using and copying SCO copyrighted materials as well as damages for alleged copyright infringement. DaimlerChrysler was targeted due to its nonresponse to a December letter sent to SCO Unix licensees requesting certification that Unix technology was not being used in Linux.
Is there any basis for SCO's claims? Will these long-awaited lawsuits cause problems for Linux in the enterprise? Linux.Ars has some thoughts on the subject. It's worth a read.
