Re:A million lines of offending code?

Yes, but they took another look at the kernel sources.

And they found this line :

}

And this one :

}

And many more !

And SCO has my code

How funny. SCO has 1 million and three lines of my code. I'm not going to show you though.

Stay tuned. I'll let you know tomorrow (or whenever SCO changes their tune) how many lines of my code they have.

I'm Suing Microsoft

[isa-kuruption]

Microsoft is using millions upon millions of line of code owned by me in many of their products, including Windows, Office, IIS, and MediaPlayer. I have proof and many high-priced lawyers that will confuse the issue even if I am wrong, and I will successfully destroy Microsoft from the market unless all Microsoft customers pay me a licensing fee of $300 per copy of Microsoft software on their desktop (even if the software is pirated!)

Please ignore the financial status of my organization while I collect multi-million dollar annual bonuses, as well as my unsuccessful attempts to sell slightly modified Microsoft products in the past at higher than market rates than Microsoft sells them for itself. Microsoft is violating my IP rights and must be stopped!

However, unlike SCO, I will release these lines of code. Examples of just a few such lines are below:

1. $i++;
2. void main() {
3. while (true) {
4. return 0;
5. main();

Thank you for your support!

Let me guess...

[aaaurgh]

that's about 200,000 each of...

}

Shit, looks like a load of my code at work is in breach of their copyright too. Damnit I'm gonna sue college for teaching me how to steal IP!
