I won't spend too much bandwidth here, but yesterday, SCO made Unix free to students and educators. However, this does not include source code licenses. Does not include right to redistribute. A coworker made the following observations: " you aren't allowed to use it in making a profit...that $0 price tag comes in pretty expensive. When Linux folks use the word "free" they aren't referring to the price at all.... I am reminded of Iago's tirade after Jafar observed that Gazeem's failure to enter the Cave of Wonder indicated he was "less than worthy"... =)" After reading the announcement, I didn't know whether to regurgitate or ROTFLMAO. "Alok Mohan, SCOhistory that the owner of the technology has made this offer. The last time this happened, a $60-billion-dollar industry was born." ---- From the SCO announcement: UNIX UNBOUND! SCO Provides FREE UNIX System Licenses To Students, Educators and UNIX Enthusiasts Around The World For those that might be interested, here is the URL:http://www3.sco.com/Company/Announce/p081996e.htm
