SCO Claims Linux Sales After Suit Irrelevant

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the this-is-only-gonna-get-more-messy dept.

molarmass192 writes "Here's the first reaction I've seen from SCO regarding the public's stance that the code they distributed under the GPL negates their claims on code in the Linux kernel. They claim that the lack of copyright notices "placed by the copyright holder" means that the GPL does not protect the unmentioned code in question. "

    Dear Michael Sims aka "Anonymous Coward",

    Don't be under impressions. When you're under an impression, you make an ass out of you and me.

    As a famous villain, Michael Sims is the master of asses, you, and me.

    Yeah but publishing linux for years even after this lawsuit constitutes as authorization for it doesn't it?

    No, it doesn't. If SCO didn't explicitely choose to include the code in Linux (it really is stolen, as they claim), then SCO also didn't explicitely choose to license the code under the GPL. And if that's the case, then the GPL doesn't apply to their code, and it reverts to the standard Berne Convention rules.

    Dear missing000,

    Don't fuck with me. I will destroy you just like I destroyed Michael Sims five years ago.

    Love,
    Seth Finklestein.

    Um, ok. If I wanted to read SuSE's press releases, I'd just have them send them to me at phobos@safe-mail.net
