o_ SCO Corporation of Lindon, Utah (formerly Caldera) has lately taken to an extortion campaign of demanding license fees from Linux users for code that they themselves knowingly distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. They have also refused to accept the GPL, claiming that some preposterous theory of theirs makes it invalid (and even unconstitutional)! Meanwhile they have distributed GPL-licensed Nmap in (at least) their "Supplemental Open Source CD". In response to these blatant violations, and in accordance with section 4 of the GPL, we terminated SCO's rights to redistribute any versions of Nmap in any of their products, including (without limitation) OpenLinux, Skunkware, OpenServer, and UNIXWare. We have also stopped supporting the OpenServer and UNIXWare platforms._

Way to go Nmap

waded through some of the most important mails, installed apt on Fedora Core 2 / Test 1. I just totally can't stand yum. It's painfully slow for about any operation.. I understand it might be more maintainable than apt since it's written in Python..but still..it's unbearably slow.

Went to the Japanese Nu restaurant in via Feltre last night. Quite good food. Albeit a tad bit expensive.
