Linux piracy?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

This is starting to get interesting. Is there proprietary Unix code inside of Linux and are all Linux users pirates? On the face of it that seems somewhat ridiculous, but if it’s in the courts, anything’s possible. SCO hasn’t gone public with their evidence, so it’s hard to say for sure what’s going to happen. It should be fun to watch though. I mean any company that would knowingly compare themselves to the recording industry is just looking to get ridiculed online, isn’t it?

  • Geek gift.

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    The one actual geek gift I got for my birthday this year, much to my surprise, (because my parents usually steer clear of buying tech stuff) was a wireless/CF card for my Axim.
