Are listed here, according to SCO.

What the fuck has SCO done? Jack squat.

Eaten Caldera from the inside and destroyed it. Caldera did actually contribute useful code to Linux under Ransom Love's "unification" programme, but alas, no more.

Of course, The SCO Group now has to prove that the code in question wasn't contributed by Caldera.

I believe this is the ANALog hole to end all anaLOG holes.

Anyone see a trend in the corporate culture?

SCO insinuates that Stallman and Perens advocate breaking the law. I wonder, why wouldn't FSF or OSI request an immediate injunction stopping SCO's fraudulent behavior against the Linux community, as it was done in Germany?

While not a codemonkey, Laura seems to have reasonable credentials.

Here is her gigaweb bio, and a brief from the Yankee Group (scroll down, page 2).

This is more like asking a Pilot or an Air Traffic Controller to compare two planes than a farmer (as others have suggested), but I don't think anyone will be satisfied until at least a few mechanics can get into the systems with wrenches.

Even then, if SCO would kindly display what lines they believe are duplicated so that the Linux community can begin the task of tracking down the contributors, then we can have a discussion. Having NDA'd analyists examine the code only is like having the city and a city-appointed lawyer have discussions about the legality of your house while you are explicitly forbidden from coming to the table. Because so much of our livelihood depends upon it, and we have invested so much in it, nobody will accept the judgement unless we are allowed to see the proof.

And even then, of course, there will need to be proof that this *is* SCO code, and not just same-function code, statistical coincidence, or code that SCO stole from Linux.

BTW, caldera has a list (with pictures!) of the board of directors here. Perhaps a few million phone calls will convince them to do what they should have done in the first place and tell us what code exactly they think is copied. Without being able to research their claims due to the choice of the board of directors, we should at least investigate their board of directors.

Remember that bandwidth costs money, so LET'S NOT ALL DOWNLOAD THIS AT ONCE! Maybe someone can set up a mirror.

Try this interesting Linux file:

http://www.sco.com/images/pdf/eserver/not-any-more -eserver_sysadmin.pdf (4 MB)

They also distribute Linux software like Mozilla:

ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/scolinux/server/4.0/updates/ SRPMS/mozilla-1.0.1-38.src.rpm (28 MB)

Doesn't this show that they are still in the Linux business?

Again, DO NOT SLASHDOT THEM. Remember that they are in a tough situation and need all the money they can get for the numerous lawsuits they are launching. Wouldn't want their servers to go down or something because of the Slashdot effect...

Could somebody who has contributed to the Linux kernel explicitly revoke SCO's license to redistribute it and then counter-sue to get them to stop? It would seem that SCO has lost their right to distribute the kernel by attempting to add restrictions on top of the GPL (which the GPL forbids) and that as a result somebody who owns part of the kernel could enforce a revokation of their ability to use the GPL'ed code. Wouldn't it be great if all the kernel contributors did this at once? SCO would quickly be drowning in countersuits. (Maybe we could even see the headline In Soviet Russia, Linus sues SCO!)

Of course, I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know how realistic of an approach this would be.

SCO admits that linux kernel implementations are different from their Unix implementations, on their own website. One of the most interesting questions on their FAQ is this:

What is the difference between the Open UNIX 8 and Linux kernels?

Both operating system kernels have the Linux system call interface. We have added the Linux kernel functions into the Open UNIX 8 kernel. The implementation of the system calls inside the UNIX kernel is different from the Linux kernel implementation. In some cases, the UNIX implementation provides better scalability, reliability, and performance than the Linux kernel.

Taking the suggestion of a recent ./ story, you can also Search the SCO web site for "sco" and display the first 100 results.

Wget:

ROFL! This is the biggest laugh I've had all week. See SCO's list of business partners. Suing your business partners and customers... RIP SCO.

They have directory browsing enabled on www.sco.de. Check it out: http://www.sco.de/images. It's the same file system as sco.com.

From the article: VERSION D: The case is thrown out of court because it has no merit, and SCO has no platform to stand on because it doesn't own the code. This is what the Linux community is hoping for.

Dvorak is out of touch. The Linux community _really_ hopes that by this time next year sco.com looks like sco.de after the LinuxTAG lawsuit.

Indeed, IBM thought of this back when they bought their Unix license. The contract between AT&T and IBM contains an additional letter of agreement.

SCO lawsuit documents

I'm having trouble getting to www.sco.com right now, so I can't do better than that URL. Go over to Exhibit C and read it, especially paragraph 2 (I think) and paragraph 9.

Paragraph 2 (I think) says that IBM owns any derivative works created from Unix.

Paragraph 9 says that IBM is entitled to use ideas, methods, concepts, and stuff like that in their own products and services, provided that IBM employees do not refer to the "physical materials" provided by AT&T while they are doing it. This paragraph squarely addresses the issue you raise and explicitly allows IBM engineers to work on a Unix project, learn things, and then work on another IBM project and use what they learned. Direct "copy and paste" is, of course, forbidden.

Actually, it seems their homepage is down!

This way, you'll know how to administrate their linux server which they discontinued.

Specifically, the company determined that some source code in Linux had a lot in common with code in Unix -- and SCO says that in 1995, it purchased rights to all the original Unix source code from the software firm Novell. In other words, SCO believes that Linux, an OS that can be freely copied and modified by anyone, is illegal. Linux is, SCO says, "an unauthorized derivative of Unix." If SCO's accusations are affirmed in court, the millions of companies and individual users who have increasingly built their lives around Linux over the last decade might have to start scrambling for an alternative or face costly penalties.

But that was not all. During its examination of Linux source code, SCO says it found that it could trace what it believes was Unix code in Linux to one of its longtime partners in the Unix business: IBM. Sontag says that SCO immediately tried to notify IBM of copyright violations in Linux, but "we effectively got no response." So on March 7, SCO filed suit against IBM, alleging "misappropriation of trade secrets, tortious interference, unfair competition and breach of contract." In its complaint, SCO claims that IBM took parts of SCO's Unix code and illegally inserted the code into Linux. Last month, to warn end users about its findings, SCO sent about 1,500 corporate Linux customers a letter saying they could be in legal hot water if they continued to use Linux, which SCO told them was "developed by improper use of proprietary methods and concepts."

SCO's war on Linux has become a hot topic in open-source circles, inspiring heated discussions on developer listservs and almost daily posts on Slashdot. Opinion in these forums, as well as among more dispassionate industry observers, runs about 99 percent anti-SCO. Nobody believes Sontag's story, and it's not hard to see why. SCO's version of the history of Unix and Linux -- as the company has explained it to reporters and as it outlines in its legal complaint against IBM -- comes off as a one-sided and self-serving account. Critics say the company misstates and exaggerates its own contributions to Unix, and SCO has yet to provide a single example of infringing code it says it has found in Linux.

Industry watchers have attributed SCO's actions to economic desperation. The firm's products have not been doing well recently; the company lost about $25 million last year. SCO now has a stated goal of trying to make money by selling licenses to its Unix intellectual property, and critics see the IBM suit as perhaps only the first of many litigious efforts SCO will attempt. IBM intends to fight the case, but SCO may hope that escalating its rhetoric will make business for Linux companies so difficult that they'll cave in -- either by paying SCO licensing fees or buying the firm out.

The strategy is not entirely illogical, and SCO's efforts have met with some initial success. In mid-May, Microsoft, which considers Linux its main software rival, made headlines when it decided to purchase a Unix license from SCO. The sum Microsoft paid for the license was not disclosed but is thought to be around $10 million -- pocket c

Does anyone have a link to the text of the non-disclosure agreement

No, but I asked SCO about it. Let's see what happens.

I'm a computer consultant from Perth, Western Australia. I use and deploy a lot of Linux. I'd be interested in comparing Linux against your IP violation claims, but would want to see and think about the required NDA first.

Here's what I don't get....

"SCO is the owner of the UNIX Operating System Intellectual Property that dates all the way back 1969, when the UNIX System was created at Bell Laboratories. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, SCO has acquired ownership of the patents, copyrights and core technology associated with the UNIX System. " -source

Do they actually own ANY patents or copyrights associatesed with the Unix system? right here, off of their own page, they claim to.

Can anyone point me to *any* response byIBM?

Sure.

SCO page on SCO versus IBM

See, in particular, IBM's Amended Answer to the Complaint.

The juiciest information is in the exhibits, which are the actual contracts. I particularly recommend Exhibit C.

Disclosure: I am short SCOX.

"The only way that the pathway is an "eight-lane highway" for Linux to achieve the scalability, SMP support, fail-over capabilities and reliability of UNIX is by the improper extraction, use, and dissemination of the proprietary and confidential UNIX Software Code and libraries. Indeed, UNIX was able to achieve its status as the premiere operating system only after decades of hard work, beginning with the finest computer scientists at AT&T Bell Laboratories, plaintiff's predecessor in interest."

Ironically, UnixWare did not get usable SMP on Intel until after Linux. The UnixWare implememtation was unstable until mid-1997; Linux got working SMP in 1996 with the release of 2.0.

[...]

SCO/Caldera's claim to own the scalability techniques certainly cannot be supported from the feature list of its own SCO OpenServer, a genetic Unix. The latest version[41] advertises SMP up to only 4 processors (a level which SCO's complaint dismisses as inadequate), no LVM, no NUMA, and no hot-swapping. That is, SCO/Caldera is alleging that IBM misappropriated from SCO technologies which do not appear in SCO's own product.

That is to say, it virtually never needs repair, it performs well under a wide variety of adverse circumstances, and it can be extended throughout an enterprise and across multiple processors to perform unified or disparate tasks in a seamless computing environment.

Although effective, massively parallel computing is far from seamless. Think of a MPP as a Beowulf with fast interconnects. It is not the seamless architecture that is described in SCO's complaint.

SCO could, quite plausibly, claim ignorance of their code being in Linux before this mess started. (emphasis mine)

This is true. However, they've been whistling this tune for a month now, and they're still distributing it.

by distributing Linux, they agreed to the terms of the GPL, this agreement did not apply to code that was not legally covered by the GPL in the first place

Again true, but there are three things we must ask:

Is SCO aware that the kernel is under the GPL?
Is SCO aware that "their" IP in in the kernel?
Is SCO still distributing the kernel?

I think you'll find that the answers to these questions is "yes". And since it's "yes", I can't understand why there is any question about whether or not they're bound by the GPL or not.

If there is any SCO IP in the kernel, it's under the GPL now.
