SCO Claims Kernel Contains UnixWare Code

Posted by michael on from the put-up-or-shut-up dept.

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."

    If a dupe is posted on Slashdot and nobody's there to comment on it, does it still take up bandwidth?

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    At the bottom of the page, we've got IBM denying the charges, before we have the story that SCO is suing.

    Guys, you really do need to get some kinda system in place for these things... Or something to indicate that this you mean to be posting 2 stories about the samething.

    Our Canadian Prime Minister, Jean Chretien had this to say about proof Sept 21, 2002.

    "A proof is a proof. What kind of proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it is proven"

    Guess it can't get much more clear that that. Huh?

    Dear SCO,

    Do you realize how many families are being destroyed by the Internet's extreme of child erotica, modelling. porn whatever you want to call it? It's like booze to the sex drive of so many men. The bottle shops right in their private room. My story has been secret because I just didn't know what to think. The opinions of people coming forward now, justify my gut feeling of how WRONG any form of child sexualization is. My husband 43, started with playboy, ok, then sex pictures online when computors became available, ok. Then I discovered whole library collections of thousands of child erotica photo's with children 7-12 years clothed and unclothed. oh, their legal paysites - NOT OK>

    I will never understand the desire. It's private for him. I am now locked out of his computor. I feel he will never act of his thoughts. What do we have thought police now? I will never have children with him. If the internet was not there as a tool for him to explore child erotica, he would never publically express or seek knowledge. Simply because child erotica isn't that easy to find anywhere else. This has destroyed a huge part of my thoughts on marriage, life and the mind's of a huge MAJORITY of mankind. Take that!!!
