SCO Announces Final Termination of IBM's Licence
ickle_matt writes "SCO have announced the final termination of IBM's UNIX license, despite Novell telling them they can't. Interestingly enough there's a new set of "stolen code" figures in the release - 'approximately 148 files of direct Sequent UNIX code to the Linux 2.4 and 2.5 kernels, containing 168,276 lines of code. This Sequent code is critical NUMA and RCU multi-processor code previously lacking in Linux. Sequent-IBM has also contributed significant UNIX-based development methods to Linux in addition to the direct lines of code specified above.' "

() You went back to beating the Windows security dead horse
() You made a tired SCO joke
() You made a Jon Katz joke (who?)
() MS blowz, linux rules (or a variant)
() You made an unoriginal joke about Slashdotting (servers turning to powder, melting, etc.)
() Other (please comment here: )
[] Your post is modded insightful, informative, or interesting. In fact it
is neither of the three. This is because:
() You stated the obvious
() You simply tossed out lots of five-dollar words
() It was in response to a poorly-written post or troll
() You copied text from a previous post that really might have been one of the three I's
() You simply criticized Microsoft without making it funny
() It is bloated with unnecessary technical claptrap
() All you did was pose questions (like a stoner)
() All you did was pose questions (like a lawyer)

Thanks for posting! Better luck next time!
