SGI's Letter to the Linux Community

Posted by michael on from the hard-news dept.

_Upsilon_ writes "SGI has released a letter to the Linux community in response to SCO's recent threat to revoke the UNIX licence for Irix. The letter mentions that they inadvertently did submit some System V code into the Linux kernel, that has since been removed (and some more in the process of being removed). The article points out that the code fragments in question had already been released into the public domain as well."

    Dear SCO,

    You have just made another enemy, we'll see you in court.

    Sincerely,

    SGI.

    I thought that it was funny. I thought that it was on ontopic. I thought that it wasn't possible to moderate and post on the same discussion thread.

    You need to lighten up a little.
