SCO Found No Source Code In 2004

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday March 2, 2011 @05:13AM from the dying-from-nor-surprise dept.

doperative writes "A consultant hired by SCO in 2004 to compare UNIX and Linux, with the thought he could be used as an expert at trial, says that, after days and days, his comparison tool found 'very little correlation'. When he told that to SCO, it paid him and he never heard from SCO again."

Wonder why he didn't speak up sooner? by quangdog · 2011-03-02 05:16 · Score: 4, Interesting

It's probably due to some contract thing - but imagine how many fewer annoying articles about SCO and Darl would have been avoided had this guy gone public years ago.

  I wasn't aware that non-disclosure agreements or contracts of any kind protected someone from revealing if they knew criminal conduct was going on. These guys knew full well that SCO's attorneys and expert witnesses were perjuring themselves, and should have come forward then.
