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.

    This is exactly the kind of grass shoots effort that gives Open Source the edge in this ongoing battle. The key is that we a) control the code for the programs that any *nix-alike needs to be in any way useful and b) have all of the talent that would be necessary for some evil company to make their own. This is exactly how we crippled Windows and the BSDs...SCO will fall in the same way. Long live Linux!

    Why doesn't Linus change the kernel to remove licencing to SCO? Next time SCO wants some Linux code to implement Linux compatibility in Unixware, they won't have permission to even look at the code, and they'll be screwed.

    shameless karma plug for the coward:

    THANK YOU!

    Finally! no more cheesy karma-whoring. Points should be given to people posting intelligent comments, not just copy/pasting information.

    Apparently the .sco file extension is used for CSound musical scores. The inclusion of this file is going to disappoint many users who thought gcc had gone all multimedia ;-)

    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 ...
