Linus Blasts SCO's Header Claims

jonbryce writes "Linus has responded to the latest claims made by SCO in their letter to the Fortune 1000 companies. Basically, he wrote the code himself, and it has been there since Linux 0.0.1. No copying from BSD or any other source." You can also read his comment to the Linux kernel mailing list, which reads in part "I think we can totally _demolish_ the SCO claim that these 65 files were somehow 'copied.' They clearly are not."

    clearly linus works for SCO.

    so he got paid off to say he wrote them, when he really copied them.

    it would appear so.

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed in any way, there is a badtoll that must/will be repaid by you/US, as the felonious corepirate nazi execrable perpetraitors of the life0cide against the creators' planet/population will not be available to make reparations, as the lights come up to rid the planet of unprecedented evile, forever.

    >ou obviously haven't seen much news from Israel in the past 20 years, did you? Please stay off FoxNews for a while and read an independent news magazine. Then read about the great jewish wall being built, about the body count in Israel being more than 3:1 against the Palestinians and about how deeply religious this state is run - not much different than those of the "Axis of evil", just with different colors and symbols. Jews try to control all of the free press, own many tv stations and do exert a very hefty part of lobby work for their causes.

    Oh and BTW, if you still ask "Why do the Arabs hate us?", take a look at all those weapons the US is delivering to Israel for free and what those weapons do to mere suspects and their families and the entire settlement of said suspects.

    Let me tell you: letting others use YOUR Apache helicopter gunships against civilian cities is a very plausible answer for "Why do they hate us?"

    But you can always trust Ashcroft and his minions when they tell you "Security is elevated, we must take away some more of your rights because they hate our freedom". They just hate free US weapons in Israel pointing at them.

    even though it is rumoured that unprecedented evile never sleeps, it seems to be dozing heavily in regards to discounting/denying the existence of, the most powerful entity in the universe? not that it matters, as the evile has no further ability to contest/defy/deny the creators' newclear power mandates.

    I have a very strong erectile disfunction and have been using viagra.h
    of which I recall writing myself, and I think that at least the 4 or so inches
    I have differ from the original 8 or so I had when I was younger.


    I have this distinct memory of once using penis.c never thinking it would
    fail which is why I originally coded viagra.h for all of us SCUM groupsters
    to use when dealing with sockets and the vaginal programming language.
