SCO to Pamela Jones: please call
In an interview today with Linux-Watch, SCO CEO Darl McBride said that his company's primary attorneys, Boies, Schiller & Flexner, are indeed trying to serve a subpoena for a deposition on Pamela Jones, the editor of, Groklaw, the legal IT news site.
McBride
said that the idea for serving Jones came from the law-firm. "It's my
understanding that she has some material of importance to our slander
of title case with Novell. I don't know the exact details."
This case sprang from Novell's contention that it, and not SCO, owns Unix's IP
(intellectual property) rights. Novell claims that neither the APA
(asset purchase agreement) of Sept. 19, 1995, which transferred Unix
and UnixWare to Santa Cruz Operations, nor Amendment 2 to the APA gave
SCO any copyrights to Unix. If Novell wins this point in Federal Court,
then SCO's case against IBM for placing Unix IP code into Linux falls apart like a house of cards with the bottom card knocked out.

Why CERT should be decertified
Last week the CERT Institute developed at Carnegie Mellon University and now part of the "the operational arm of the National Cyber Security Division (NCSD) at the Department of Homeland Security," issued an annual systems security review and summary that drew widespread public attention.
Both the computer press and the mainstream media used this report as the basis for headlines that looked like this one Linux/Unix more flawed than Windows, CERT says from news.com
Here's the summary from The Washington Post:
According to US-CERT, researchers found 812 flaws in the Windows
operating system, 2,328 problems in various versions of the Unix/Linux
operating systems (Mac included). An additional 2,058 flaws affected
multiple operating systems. There may well have been more than 5,198
flaws discovered this year; these were only the ones reported to US-CERT

Did Bill Gates Invent Linux and Has He Erased the Evidence?
Someone has started rearranging content on the Internet to suit their
own purposes and the culprit might be a convicted monopolist. This
article examines some compelling evidence and asks Congress to
investigate.
On October 1, 2004, at an appearance at the Computer History Museum in
northern California, someone asked Bill Gates about a possible threat
from Linux and Gates replied: "Microsoft has had competitors in the
past. It's a good thing we have museums to document this stuff."
