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."

    I just want to reiterate that this was an excellent article. I was almost afraid I'd go the day without my SCO article! Thanks Slashdot for keeping me informed on this very important issue.

  4. SCO planned this way ahead? by October_30th · · Score: -1, Troll

    Could it be so that SCO infiltrated the Linux community years ago, poisoned the source tree and is now reaping the benefits?

    Please come to the site; we should be able to handle the Slashdot crowd.

    Well, sure, it works fine now, it's the weekend, when many here actually try to get *real* work done.

    But wait until you have a hot story during the middle of the week, and everyone is at their job. Then they have time to read Slashdot.
