Comment How can SCO be correct? (Score 1) 275
I don't think this is correct. Think about what HP is saying. Martin Fink, HP's vice president of Linux says "If (customers) were to get sued by SCO, we would take over their defense and assume liability on their behalf."
Can anyone believe that HP would take over the defense of something they have serious doubts they can defend? Not only that, but assume liability. These are big time money numbers, considering SCO wants 3 billion dollars from IBM . If anything, it proves that they think this is a risk free offer,and excellent PR.
Unless there is some huge conspiracy between SCO and HP, this is just SCO putting their spin on damaging news.
