Groklaw Outlines More SCO Linux Contributions

Posted by timothy on from the fuel-meets-fire dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Groklaw today reported that they have discovered another SCO programmer, Tigran Aivazian, who has committed code to the Linux kernel. According to the latest story Mr. Aivazian contributed a microcode update feature, a testing program, and made contributions to SMP and vmalloc. This new story adds weight to earlier stories about Caldera coder Chris Hellwig's additions to XFS, SMP and JFS. " Also on the SCO front, an anonymous reader writes "SCO's last Open Letter has drawn two new responses, one from Red Hat cofounder Bob Young, and the other from Jon 'maddog' Hall. 'maddog' makes a carefully reasoned rebuttal that defends the GPL and includes observations like 'How could the founding fathers or the early legislators have foreseen the Web, or even computers?' Young curtly offers McBride the following advice: 'Be less vocal' - making him the King Canute of Linux, perhaps, because it ain't gonna happen anytime soon."

  2. Soap Opera by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    Can we add a section to the side of slashdot (ie. one of those side tables) for soap operas like the SCO case.

    Everyone knows that SCO are phonies - and I am sure some people want to see what's happening in the next episode of days of our lives^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h the SCO saga. It makes it easy to see what happened in the last several episodes :)
