happyDave's Journal: The SCO Question

ASK SLASHDOT:
A question that I'd love to see McBride answer: Having been a Linux-based company for years, what made you decide, now, to do this, and why are you claiming that it is for the benefit of the Open Source community that this be done, when the benefit would have been greater had this been done earlier? Did you not exercise due diligence until now? Only now did someone at your company suddenly discover this?

I think that's the central issue, at any rate. The more of this case I follow, the more I (shudder) feel inclined to agree with the more radical /.ers who claim that Microsoft is behind this. The timing is just too weird not to have something fishy going on somewhere behind the scenes.

I'd love to know what the rest of slashdot thinks about this issue.
