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."

    So if they paid the publisher for the documentation, why is this even a story?

    No. Did you even read the summary?

    SCO apparantly paid for the docs. Which means that they're as free and clear as if they hired a tech writier to write new docs and license them to SCO.
