twisty's Journal: Red Hat Strikes Back

Earlier today, Red Hat has stormed the news with two significant announcements, regarding the SCO v. IBM contraversy, both rolled into a single press release. It was news I wasn't expecting.... but it is better news than I could have anticipated.

Red Hat has filed complaint against SCO for the broad and irresponsible claims they've made against major distributions of Linux. The courts of Germany and Australia have already taken similar actions, with questionable levels of cooperation from SCO. But now, Red Hat has put it in American court, where a court order can more effectively halt the prattle factory of SCO's absurd, self contradictory slander.
