“Open Source Development Labs Inc. (OSDL) aims to establish a US$10 million defence fund to pay the legal fees of Linux users sued by The SCO Group Inc., plus those of OSDL employees, including Linus Torvalds, it said Monday. Torvalds is the Finnish creator of the Linux operating system.
The Linux Legal Defense Fund, which has so far received US$3 million in donations from IBM Corp., Intel Corp., MontaVista Software Inc. and others, aims to send the message that OSDL will stand up to The SCO Group’s threats, the OSDL said.”
