USL vs BSDI Documents
Dibyendu Majumdar writes "Dennis Ritchie has posted some court papers from the lawsuit by USL against BSDI about UNIX intellectual property. Some of the SCO claims, such as identical comments in the code, etc. also occur in the claims made by USL. Interesting read in the context of SCO vs IBM case."
You want to talk about identical comments, read below.
IANAL, but is USL SOL if SCO says BFD about IBM's IP?
Over 10 years ago? Wow! I've been asleep for more than a year? I thought it was 2003. What happened? ;)

...have been on Ritchie's site for a L O N G time. You just notice now? What kind of UN*X hacker are you!?!
In this mad world, I'd not wonder much if SCO sues USL for using the same claims in their suit ...
Personally, I have SCO story macros:
:)
"But SCO/Caldera distributed their own Linux! They violated the GPL!"
"Linux kernel hackers should sue SCO!"
"IBM is the 800lb. gorilla that will crush SCO!"
"Linux kernel hackers should sue SCO!"
"Failure to mitigate their own damages!"
"They haven't produced a single line of evidence!"
"They haven't produced a single line of evidence!"
"They haven't produced a single line of evidence!"
"Linux kernel hackers should sue SCO!"
"Failure to mitigate their own damages!"
See what I mean?

Since C# is being standardized by the ISO and ANSI, I do not think any one owns them (the same thing with COM and MSIL, hehe haha).
Is there anything about the ISO/ANSI process that precludes patents?
IIRC SCO owns the Borland compilers. Maybe they just invented truth++.
everything else is a rehash of old trolls, old comments, one guy searching caldera stories and cutting and pasting +5 comments, sprinkle with insight, set at 350 degrees, and bake until done. Serves 10,000.
Welcome to Slashdot. Enjoy your stay.
I once complained to a buddy of mine that Slashdot was nothing but interesting articles trailing thousands of gibberish comments behind them like comet tails. "It's... chaos!" I said, waving my hand at the monitor in frustration.
He grinned and said, "The chaos is the best part!"
Know what? He was right.
I love you, Slashdot. Don't ever change, baby.
All computer programs contain short explanatory comments annotating the code in which they are embedded.
HA! All programs? Right... Haven't seen any "Must get this done, this weekend!" code, aparently.
Don't buy SCO right now... You're wasting your money. sit back and wait until IBM beats them down a little in court. Their stock value will drop significantly. That's the time to buy!
