The Perfect Crime

,----[ Quote ]
| And what did the real player Linus Torvalds say about all this? He didn't 
| have time to quabble. His was to create an operating system, not fart around 
| with words. If Stallman was going to latch 'GNU' onto the Linux name he 
| didn't care.   
| 
| He should have. For Stallman's taken the next step in his theft: he's using 
| his weapon of words to completely remove 'Linux' from relevancy for its own 
| product.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| Stallman's is playing a very dirty game. FOSS is being attacked on two 
| fronts: the merciless unrelenting Microsoft market manipulation machine and 
| Richard M Stallman. FOSS needs better; the world needs better.  
| 
| Why is Linus Torvalds doing nothing?

It seems like Sun is having similar issues.

The SCO-ification of NetApp

,----[ Quote ]
| Meanwhile PJ has announced that Groklaw is officially following the case and 
| she has a few questions she’d like to ask NetApp. 
| So it would appear that NetApp is now the next SCO in the eyes of many, 
| whether is wants to be or not. Is there anything the company could do to 
| avoid such a fate?  
| 
| Sun has said what it would do if it emerged victorious - some explanation 
| from NetApp as to how it would deal with ZFS and the open source community if 
| it were to get a decision in its favor might help.
