Slashdot Mirror
Settling SCOres
Israel Pattison writes "The Inquirer is reporting that someone in Germany is claiming to have viewed the SCO-alleged infringing Linux source code without having to sign a NDA. The person gives details about the code that was presented, but the translation-by-software is difficult to follow." The story also includes a link to a human translation; maybe some Slashdot reader can do better. Also in the news is a story about a kernel developer getting uppity with SCO, as well he might.
This link (with the german developer) has been posted as a Score:5 comment to every single SCO-related story in the past four or five days. I think it's reasonable to have frequent/daily SCO stories as new news on the subject comes out, but this link is really not worth posting as the impetus for a story all by itself as the second SCO story of the day. Especially when the earlier SCO story had some threads related to this link.
Just a thought.
- Terrified and anonymous
I'm sorry. I must have SCOnfused this website for a news outlet.
I have been pwned because my
"It doesn't matter if we know who this particular guy is or what his code is. There are a number of people like him - the point is that SCO is getting slapped back. In other words, we don't need to know where his original code is - only the court need know that, for his case"
You could say that about any story on any site concerning the law. I want to see the code, because I'm interested in seeing whether there's any truth in the claim. Unlike you, I've nothing against SCO until such time as I can determine for myself whether or not they have a case, or if they are just trying it on.
