SCO vs DaimlerChrysler (lost) Daimler Chrysler uses Linux clusters and according to the DaimlerChrysler refused to produce a "certification of compliance" with a licensing agreement from 1990.

It seems that the SCO Group is losing the legal battle and now are playing the little kid who can't get his way. BTW 2 computers running FC2 and loving it.
