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.

    You can't generalize about people. Though that's a generalization, isn't it?
    Firstly, it's not a generalization. Look up the various definitions of the word. I assume the one you mean is "reasoning from detailed facts to general principles"; however, the claim that comprises the first sentence doesn't contain any detailed facts to derive the stated general principle from. Secondly, there's nothing wrong with generalizing; the Bad Things are over-generalizations and faulty generalizations (I guess the first are a subset of the second), which you can't do if you're not generalizing in the first place.

    Oops, now that was off topic ...
