SCO Claims Kernel Contains UnixWare Code
ergo98 writes "SCO has increased the intensity of the lawsuit with IBM by claiming to hold indisputable proof that copyrighted UnixWare code found its way into Linux, violating the rules of both camps. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen: SCO refuses to divulge the code in question, however they promise to reveal it in court shortly."
about the Sco vs. IBM suit, I can't help but think that SCO is going to be worse off than Mike Tyson's cellmate when all is said and done.
There are four boxes used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order.
And they are repeated many many times! /*

Those lines are exact duplicates of orginal Unix code! Oh no! They've got us!
Slashdot is like Playboy: I read it for the articles
[*] SCO lawsuit support (EXPERIMENTAL) (NEW)
If Y is selected, then copywrited code from unixware will be compiled into the kernel, if you have millions of $CURRENCY and would like to get SCO after you then say Y, most people would say N here.
Patch here
Let's set up a fund to collect money from open source users to use for the sole purpose of buying SCO stock. We'll collect enough to just buy the damn company release all IP into the GPL that we own.
And that as they say will be that.
Shop smart, Shop S-Mart.
Ther are no WMD in the linux code, it was all moved to FreeBSD.

"I used to have the two letters posted outside my cube at a previous place of employment. I just tried to find them using Google, but I must not be using the right search terms. "
I don't think Google works THAT well.
I bet this is the stolen code:
for (i=0; i 256; i++) {
Dirty, stinking thieves!
So that is how they found the code... there is a bug... "i" is probably a single byte variable...and it just overran its bounds by one! (the range should only be from 0 to 255, not 256)
