iBCS (Score 2, Interesting)

Come on people, get a life! SCO(Caldera) isn't doing anything different from what FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris X86, BSDI, and Linux do in their Intel Compatability mode. I remember calling it iBCS, for intel Binary Compatability Services, a few years ago, but the concept hasn't changed. If you want to run Linux software on SCO, you copy over a few libraries and that's it. Same for running SCO software on Linux, except that you had to license OpenServer. In fact, IIRC so many people were running Oracle on Linux in SCO compatability mode (this was in '97 or '98) that Oracle decided to go ahead and support Linux. So we have SCO to thank for some of the first commercial enterprise software becoming available for Linux in the first place.

Everybody calm down and take a deep breath. SCO has made some mistakes recently, and they will eventually see the error of their ways and back off. Screaming about petty stuff just makes Slashdot readers look reactionary and ill informed.
