Submission + - Linux indemnification from Microsoft - sort of? (desktoplinux.com)
1. They offer a special Open Source Indemnification Offer. Quote: "There are many benefits to using open source software, but in some cases there are lingering legal concerns around deploying open source in the enterprise. In order for enterprises to fully embrace a broad range of open source software, they need to be able to deploy, manage and control open source while limiting the associated legal and compliance risks. For the first time, enterprises can now access indemnification coverage for a broad range of open source products from a single vendor. By mitigating the intellectual property risks associated with open source software, OpenLogic enables enterprises to safely and securely use open source software and maximize cost savings." Anyone else smelling SCOSource?
2. Their CEO is a former Microsoft employee.
3. To call this company "OpenLinux" can only be a sign of very subtle humor, because Open Linux was the name for the "enterprise linux solution" distributed by former Caldera, now SCO.
