Jeff Taylor and Joy have the latest on our friends at the Santa Cruz Operation; Jeff* characterizes SCO’s business model as “consist[ing] of filing suit against Linux users.” I think he’s being charitable; it’s more like “trying to sell for $200/seat technology written two decades ago by a bunch of kids at Berkeley that’s today worth about 10 cents.”
You know, in 1999 or so, that could have been the basis for a decent IPO. Hell, nobody else back then had a viable business model either…
* CoI disclaimer: I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Jeff for a Reason piece about six years ago, back when I was blogging the “Toy Towns” dispute in the Memphis area before anyone—much less me—really knew what a blog was.
