SCO Announces Final Termination of IBM's Licence

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the things-are-heating-up dept.

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.' "

    SCO again. I wonder who knew them before all this theater they did.
    I didn't.

    How should I know what I'm thinking before I read what I wrote?

    Server: Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 PHP/4.3.2-RC on www.sco.com. Really wonder how they can actually take themselves serious.

    Sequent / IBM have no names on these files. What the heck is SCO talking about now?? Where are the NUMA files that orignated from IBM that contain Dyniz sources??
