"Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked
stere0 writes "An article (in German) published on the German IT news site Heise includes two pictures (1, 2) of the "stolen" source code SCO claims to be theirs. Part of the first screenshot has been scrambled, the font has probably just been changed to Symbol; can anybody decipher it? I searched for the code snippets on Google. The code does indeed come from the kernel; the photographs show what seems to be lines 88-102 and 109-123 of /arch/ia64/sn/io/ate_utils.c from the 2.4 kernel tree. " Update: 08/19 16:39 GMT by M : LWN has a nice piece tracing the origins of the disputed code, and showing that SCO is simply lying.
Hey! Both snippets use printf!!!
How would that be, SCO claims ownership of printf?

"The problem is, we started running out of stories about SCO to post, I mean we did the SCO said foobar thing the other day, and we've bashed the company spokesperson before. Hell we've even ridiculed the parrot in the SCO offices. These stories are so yesterday, so what better way than to post something entirely new, hip, exciting, and very straight forward. Slashdot posting an article, about posting an article, about SCO. It's so retro and chick." stated Slashdot staff member Hemos.
Who cares? No-one USES ia64!
Just remove it completely and see how many end users notice...
That was classic intercourse!

Roses are #FF0000, Violets are #0000FF, find / -name '*base*' |xargs chown -R us && mv zig greatjustice
but the real question is, could they suck cock?
Sure I do, because I read the article.
Please send links to pages quoting these thousands of legal experts who support SCO's case. I've not seen one yet and I like a good laugh.

I hope you fuckin' kill yourself. That'd be the most successful shit you'd have ever done during this miserable thing called your life.
