"The University of Maine has now almost completed its solar system model, to be unveiled officially on the June 14th at Westfield. The final planet, Uranus, will be set in place on the 13th. At forty miles from Pluto to The Sun and built to a scale of 1:93,000,000, it will be the largest three-dimensional scale model of the Solar System in North America" [Slashdot]. 5:50:18 PM    comment []  

SCO is still going forward trying to win licensing rights from Linux users for alegedly copying source code from UNIX (which they own) into the Linux operating system [EETimes]. Okay, it's a long way before that issue ever gets resolved. My question is, can't the Linux community simple rewrite the offending components and rid themselves of this problem? SCO can still go after companies that are using Linux with these licensing claims, but ultimately, it should be a simple matter to clean Linux of the offending code. 5:35:56 PM    comment []
