Journal Journal: Digium Denied Insurance Because of Linux

In case it doesn't make it as an article

As an interesting side note for /. readers who may think the SCO v. IBM case does not affect anyone, we at Digium (an Open Source telecommunications company) have found ourselves impaired in an odd way. As part of a contract we are pursuing, we have been asked to obtain copyright infringement insurance upon Asterisk, our primary Open Source product (a full featured telephony system running under Linux and soon, *BSD). However, our current insurance company has refused to cover us because we use Linux -- since SCO has made their allegations. We're still looking at other insurance companies and have also made some unsuccessful attempts to contact Redhat for any suggestions they may have vis-a-vis this case.
