For those of you following the IBM/RedHat/AutoZone/Chrysler/Open source community/whole world verses: “SCO” court case,
(and if you are not, you should be as the vast majority of the internet runs on open source software like Bind (DNS), Apache (Web server) and Sendmail/Postifx (email) not to mention Linux itself.)

Anyway, onto the story, and its a good one. First off, SCO tries to cancel IBM’s right to distribute Unix, claiming they infringed SCO’s copyright by putting millions of lines of Unix code into Linux.. In their most recent filing they have claimed that they have no copyright issue with IBM over their use, contribution or distribution of Linux, and are asking that IBM’s 10th counter claim be dismissed or stayed on that basis.

I’m in the middle of updating the advanced counter, some of the stuff I have added or plan to add are:

– More browsers detected.
– Display fixes.
– Fixed some minor bugs like return chars in referer strings, and occasional divide by zero error on empty stats counts.
– Auto rollover/archive stats at 12am on the first of each month. (if set to do so.)
– Seach engine spider stats added.
– Setting that removes the login screen and goes staight to the stats if configured to do so.
– counter will work by passing session id as a form paramater instead of just via cookie. (right now if the cookie isn’t working, you can’t view the advanced stats.)

I have not finalised the list of stuff I want to add, so if you wish to make a suggestion, please use the htmlfixit forum to make your suggestion and I’ll see what I can do.
