Companies do not hold personal grudges.
But the people who run the companies can and sometimes do.
What companies do is get the best deal for themselves.
Under ideal circumstances only. As a for instance, what has SCO as a company gained from the ongoing multi-year long law suite with IBM over Unix/Linux copyright violations? Answer, jack squat. Darl certainly was acting in someones interests, but they were not that of SCO.
I understand the business world, and I don't like most of what I see.
This was funny. A couple years back, some Sun programmers wanted to make a product that they were working on, open source and free. I guess they were wide eye utopians. Their manager had to bring them back to reality and told them, and who is going to pay you them? They all decided to shelved their bright idea. Most of you are like those programmers, sheeps without common sense!
Huh?
