A newly formed Australian free- and open-source software industry group is urging companies and individuals to ignore SCO's push to secure licence revenues from Linux users.
An open source industry group has filed a new complaint to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission against controversial software company the SCO Group, saying the vendor is attempting to alter previously granted licences.
As Australia's Linux community prepares to gather in Adelaide for a heavyweight conference, a leading state industry cluster has detailed plans to establish a national open source "evangelism" and policy group.
Federal parliament is unlikely to debate the Democrats' proposed open source software bill, according to the Senator shepherding the legislation, Brian Greig.
A favourable outcome from planned litigation in the US by the SCO Group against large corporate users of Linux who decline to pay the vendor for allegedly exploiting its intellectual property could reduce the likelihood of similar litigation here, SCO's Australian boss has hinted.
