FSF, GCC, and SCO Compiler Support

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hadn't-really-thought-of-that-one dept.

Ancipital was one of several who noted that a special patch is going into GCC. The file is README.SCO, and it is a short writeup about the SCO situation written by the FSF. It stops short of demanding that GCC developers strip SCO support from the compiler, and says more will be announced before the next compiler release.

  1. The output of this compiler by AtariAmarok · · Score: 5, Funny

    Of course, the output of this compiler is not executable code. It produces lawsuits instead.

  2. So now... by mopslik · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...all programs compiled with the -sco flag will now start with a nag screen urging you to pay $699 to legalize your software?

  3. Re:... better yet by HiQ · · Score: 5, Funny

    No just make a nagging compiler. Let it put up a nag screen with each statement it compiles, showing the statement and asking the programmer if it's allright to compile this and if it's not violating one or more IP's (Yes/No/Abort). :)
