Lawsuit doesn't faze Canadian Linux users

摘要

Canadian Linux users say they have nothing to fear from SCO's plan to seek licensing fees from enterprises that have deployed the open source operating system. Last month SCO said it would launch a program under which it would seek to enforce what it alleges to be its intellectual property over certain elements of the Linux kernel, which was partially developed from Unix by Linus Torvalds. The company rocked the global open source community when it made claims in March and filed what has become a US$3-billion lawsuit against IBM, one of Linux's biggest proponents in the vendor community.
