SCO Includes OS Products In OpenServer 6

William Robinson writes "In a bid to be friendly with Open Source, SCO has included 7 OS products in their Unix product. Among the included packages are MySQL, PostgreSQL, Samba, Apache, Tomcat, and FireFox. SCO's position is consistent, spokesman Blake Stowell argued. 'We don't necessarily have issues with open source, we just have an issue with open-source technology that includes intellectual property it shouldn't' he said."

Really...

What a relief

Now I can start liking SCO again. I'm off to the SCO Store to buy some of whatever it is they try to sell.

What a bunch of hypocrits.

Would it be legal...

[Anonymous Coward]

Would it be legal to have a provision in such licenses barring a specific company such as, oh, let's say SCO, from being able to use a product without paying a $699 per-license fee?
