    SCO is "smoking crack"

    Leave it to Linus to speak so bluntly: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1227150,00.asp

    Open Source is free like a puppy is free.

    It's only when you look at an ant through a magnifying glass on a sunny day that you realise how often they burst into flames.

    great interview, thanks! SCO's claims are so obviously absurd -- where are the weapons of mass destruction? (oops, wrong messageboard ) -- where are the allegedly offending lines of code? they've got nothing, and Linus clearly has refuted their groundless claims anyway.

    that must be what SCO stands for, Smoking Crack, Obviously.

    I love it. Linus doesn't pull any punches. SCO is really pushing the envelope. I think they will fail and I think it will be the end for them. BSD is a very good alternative to SCO.

    yeah, most or all of the sco code was removed from the 2.6 kernel thus far. Not because SCO made a fuss either, because it was done before this happened, but because the code was ugly and it sucked. Ask linus .

    They're on something, but who knows what.
