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."

    I love the way I get modded as "Troll" as soon as I make speculation that is outside of the slashdot collectives hive like worldview.

    This place is getting lamer. It is turning into a bunch of "SCO sucks" and "Microsoft sucks" comments and stupid Russia "jokes".

    Well I had good karma and could moderate and everything. Then I had one post moderated troll by some poe faced humourles git and of course when I posted again to object that got moderated off topic (I've since noticed that this is normal). My karma has shown as bad ever since and now I can only post at 0. boo hoo!
