More on SCO Code Snippets

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-truthfulness-in-them-at-all dept.

anoopsinha writes "A story in linuxworld reports that SCO itself has no idea what the history of a particular snippet of code might be - even a high profile snippet like the one SCO highlighted at SCO Forum. Having no idea if its claims have merit has not stopped SCO so far, so we can expect more from SCO along the lines of big claims with no merit."

    A lord has a complaint against a serf, who's to question the lord?

    We've a stock market symbol, a cadre of lawyers, who are these people to question the motives taken on behalf of the shareholders?

    Off with their fucking heads!

    "Well, at SCO Forum, there were some folks that came out and basically sniffed out some of the [disputed System V] code we were showing and [concluded] that it emanated from SGI." That this code "emanated" from SGI was news to SCO.

    I'm not trying to be a troll or anything, and I have this feeling that the SCO execs are full of it, but is this statement not a little bit thin to jump to the conclusion that SCO does not know the history of its own code? Could DMcB not intend to say with 'emanated' that that code emanated from SGI into the linux kernel? Then his statement would only involve linux history and SGI history, and not SCO's own.
