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.

    The best opinions are the solitary voices against the bellowing mob.

    This bluster on the part of the GCC developers serves only SCO. Cutting support would make them into a victim in the public eye.

    Better to let them die on their own, and keep your own hand free from the blood.
