    A couple of years ago SCO worked with the linux community on trying to bring together Unix and Linux ... who is to say that their own programmers didn't insert this code durring that process?!?!

    First, all code is attributed in the changelog.

    Second, Linus most of the time ignores code which does not come from his trusted lieutnants. They, too, do proper attribution.

    Third, most code isn't accepted unless it's obviously correct (like small fixes) or has had some testing on the list first. Which means that the patch can probably be found in LKML.
