Except that the license is all that's there. Accepting the license responds with a friendly FORBIDDEN error.

Better to go to the PlanetMirror link instead. They have the license intact, as well as the source files. I post this link to about every other SCO story, you guys haven't been paying attention!.

I wouldn't worry about it. In fact, I would say that Mcbride is a big fat weeny.

What's he going to do sue me? Well, I can make any litigation against me very pointless real quick.

Anyway, yesterday we were talking about comparing sources. With this wouldn't you say that checking and comparing source code so we can get sco out of linux becomes a lot more possible? Probable even? This could be the break that the open source community has been looking for.

Caldera refered to it as "ancient UNIX". It appears to have been pulled from SCOldera's web site, but it's available here. Available are:

5th Edition UNIX
6th Edition UNIX
7th Edition UNIX
Mini UNIX
UNIX System III
UNIX 32V

I've downloaded my copies!

SCO lifting code from Linux? by bstadil · 2003-05-21 11:01 · Score: 2, Interesting · on Caldera vs. Microsoft Court Documents To Be Shredded

Only marginally on topic but earlier today there was a Wifi story referencing Kernel Traffic. As I read it I saw the comment below:

If someone have a copy of the SCO source code maybe make a Torrent file, so we can start analysing if they indeed stole something. A few nuggets will go a long way to quash the FUD from SCO. Anyone know where old SCO bug reports can be gooten?

6. Possible License Violations Within The Kernel Source

Elsewhere, Christoph Hellwig replied to the original post as well, saying:

As somone who walked for SCO (or rather Caldera how it was called at that time) I can tell you this is utter crap. There were very people actually doing Linux kernel work then (and when the German office was closed down all those left the company) and we really had better things to do then trying to retrofit UnixWare code into the linux kenrel. Especially given that the kernel internals are so different that you'd need a big glue layer to actually make it work and you can guess how that would be ripped apart in a usual lkml review :)

It might be more interesting to look for stolen Linux code in Unixware, I'd suggest with the support for a very well known Linux fileystem in the Linux compat addon product for UnixWare..

Jim Nance said, "Wouldnt it be halirous if whatever code SCO is talking about when they say there is Unix code in Linux turns out to be code some SCO employee ripped out of some GPL program and stuck it into Unixware. That is actually far more likely than what they alledge."
