| Linux Advocates Mount Attack Against SCO |
|---|
In the high-stakes legal showdown between Linux users and SCO Group Inc. over whether that company is owed unprecedented license fees, advocates for the free software on Thursday showed no signs of blinking at their biggest annual gathering.
SCO, which claims its blueprint for Unix software is embedded illegally in versions of the free Linux operating system, is suing International Business Machines Corp. for billions and has threatened companies that they must pay to use Linux or face litigation.
But IBM and Linux distributor Red Hat Inc. fought back this week against Lindon, Utah-based SCO with countersuits, drawing cheers from Linux developers and users gathered in San Francisco this week for LinuxWorld.
