SCO Lists Specific Code-Infringement Claims
mugnyte writes "Those tireless folks at groklaw have transcribed and published the documents from the latest IBM/SCO hearing. In it, the exact lines of the supposed Dynix / AIX / Linux logic are given. SCO claimed that Linux's read copy update, journaling file system, enterprise volume management system, AIO (Asynchronous I/O), and "scatter gather" I/O code had been derived from either AIX or Dynix/ptx. Now we can take a look at what SCO thinks makes Linux an enterprise-ready platform started at 2.4, stealing away their market share. However, IBM released these things under the GPL ... so what license did IBM really have from SCO to do this? Which raises the question, What license did SCO have from Novell to disallow this?"
It took them this long to provide their "proof." Undoubtedly, their "evidence" will be "tampered" with in short order.
EVERYDAY IS CATURDAY
i would wish to point out, that, a few years before many years ago, i had designed a program as follows: PRINT("Hello"); Then mwa came along, added some headers, and converted PRINT to print. Consequently, i own all rights to all C/C++/C#/JAVA/VB and other language programs, since they're all derived from print, which is derived from PRINT. Everyone using a computer, can now pay me $699.00 now, or $2000 sometime after i extend the original discounted price 3 to 27 times. I will sue a computer user in the next 90 days, and have letters sent to all fortune 500 companies that use computers. Thank you for your business.
