Biz veteran Ralph Yarro is extending ThinkAtomic data-center services into Salt Lake
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, June 10 2012 @ 01:25 AM EDT
Yarro and Canopy bitterly parted ways and fought over his ouster in competing lawsuits. Yarro ended up as the single largest shareholder of The SCO Group, a Canopy company that held the rights to the Unix computer operating system.

In 2003, SCO filed an infamous lawsuit against IBM, accusing it of contract violations for allegedly using SCO’s Unix operating system as the basis for changes that made the Linux operating system a viable competitor.

SCO was accused of launching an attack on the open-source community that backed Linux and Yarro was roundly vilified. The lawsuit remains pending but SCO eventually ended up in bankruptcy court, where it still remains today. Unix was sold to another company.

US Navy Buys Linux to Guide Drone Fleet - indemnity apparently not an issue
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, June 10 2012 @ 11:42 AM EDT
The US Navy has signed off on a $27,883,883 contract from military contractor Raytheon to install Linux ground control software for its fleet of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drones.

The contract covers the Naval Air Station at Patuxent River in Maryland, which has already spent $5,175,075 beginning to install Linux systems. The no-bid contract was awarded to finish the work and get the Navy's drone fleet fully operational using a Linux backbone.
