SCO Caught Copying

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the almost-as-funny dept.

linuxwrangler writes "While accusing everyone else of copying "their" code, SCO has meanwhile been caught copying documentation. In fact they copied several chapters of the Book of Webmin directly into their online documentation. While the book is available online, it is not licensed for redistribution. Details are sparse but it appears that SCO had to pay the publisher for using the material."

    They broke the law, got caught, and settled out of court. Sounds like a story to me...

    No, they got caught copying the work and then they paid the publisher after they got caught.

    What does this really mean, not much, maybe they're hypocritical but that's about it. Although, they'd probably say they actually pay for borrowed works unlike Linux users and this was a mistake.
