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.

    Any chance we can stop giving this corporate protection racket so much free publicity?

    Does that mean gcc will drop linux support now it is owned by SCO? : )

  3. remove support from everything by codepunk · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you run a SCO system or a SCO Linux system you are guilty by association. Providing them with money for support is like paying them to sue responsible members of the community. I for one will make a exception in any source that I distribute forbidding execution on a SCO system.
