As of now SCO is only targeting distributors of linux.
And they have a problem only with the SMP part of the
kernel.
Normal users running non-SMP boxes should not be affected
anyway I guess. But I think this time Freebsd is going to
take away the market.
Its happening exactly as before "freebsd in the midst of a
legal battle" and people choosing linux for development.
Now, Linux or part of the code may be dragged into a legal
battle. I am sure what an intellegent System administrator
will choose for his dual processor intel box. now that the
freebsd SMP support is what it is today. which IMHO can easily
take on any linux box in terms of performance.
Even if its true that IBM copied SCO's SMP code into
linux its just a matter of time before that code is scraped
and someone writes something else.
But, I dont take it as lightly as Raju does. this definately is a
problem for linux and SCO's main objective is to spread
"Rumours" so that uneducated ppl either stay away from linux or
come to them.
The educated however, when running a SMP box will also stay away
and use something else. which no doubt will be freebsd. when
more and more ppl start using freebsd it will no doubt have the
market, users, bug reporters, beta testers and developers.
