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."

    I am considering going after New Line and all for making movies of my books, the Lord of the Rings trilogy. (perhaps you've heard of them?)

    Those are my writings, printed without my permission, and so what if they have been printing for many years now and I haven't done anything about it, until this moment...

    Lame.

    7+ years in Web technologies
    What "Web Technologies" do they want? CGI scripting!? Out of a Java programmer?!

    It's not because you weren't on the Web 7 years ago that nobody was. And yes, they could have learned .Net and Java in the meantime.

    BTW, Web technologies started with webservers and web browsers. Not with CGI scripting.

    I don't see anything funny, insighful or even relevant in the parent post. Just a newbie that probably thinks that the web was created when he discovered it.
