You will get the proof when people send in bug fixes (patches).
To ensure your program has a high level of contribution make sure that it is extremely useful to developers (e.g. IDE/profiler/debugger etc) and it has a number of annoying but easy to fix bugs.
They will stop reporting them just as soon as you stop reading/replying to them.

They are obvioulsy referring to Linux as a whole and not just the kernel. In fact there original suggestion was that none of the coppied code was in the kernel. If this is the case then there is probibly aso copywrite code in *DSD and OSX.
The problem is that many people allready use JBOSS. Probably more than use WebSphere and BEA combined.
I agree that you should try to conform to standards but if the stardards authority deliberatly tries to shut you out then there isn't much you can do.
The same thing happened between UNIX/Linux and X/XFree. Linux and XFree are now becomming the defacto standards. Sun is scared that the same thing will happen with JBOSS.
What they are claiming is that IBM violated a contract.
When IBM first created AIX they licenced some of the technology from SCO (or whoever owned the unix IP at the time). I assume one of the conditions of the licencing was an NDA which prevented IBM from sharing the technology with third parties.
SCO is now claiming that the improvments that IBM are making in Linux is derived from the original IP and thus violating that contract. This is how they can threatening to stop the distribution of AIX.
Time taken to lap a 1 mile track at 30mph = 2 mins.
If you want to average 60mph over 2 laps then you would need to complete the 2 laps in 2 mins, but because you have already been driving for 2 mins you would need to complete the second lap in 0 seconds (impossible).
Dell started announcing Linux pre-installed at about the start of the anti-trust case. The must have been benificial to microsoft in showing that there was compitition around.
Now that MS is off the hook, an announcement saying Dell is dropping Linux because lack of demand is perfect for MS.
Could Dell is nothing more than a Microsoft puppet?

The GLP gives you rights that you would not normally have. i.e. You would not normally be able to take someones source code and modify it to use for your own purposes (copyright infringement).
If I was a windows user I would worry about when the next version of windows arrives. Will they still be happy to re-activate your software when you update your (by now 1/2 year old computer).

I doubt this had much to do with the embargos.
The biggest single reason for the change was the preasure from within the country.
The second biggest reason was the fall of communism.
Here, and be careful he might be reading what you say.
Don't you mean GNU/Solaris is free.
And those of us at the office in London have been warned not to go out the building. The canteen had seen its biggest single trading day all year.
The other reason is that Sun does not like the name. The name was chosen specifically to appose Sun (i.e. eclipse of the sun).
Actually there is a way to fix it http://www.lvllord.de/?url=tools
Don't count on it.
I would hope to think that Tim Berners-Lee was more significant than Microsoft in fighting this.
After all, if he said it was prior art, then it was prior art.
You have it wrong. Apache market share is growing and IIS is on the way down Latest Netcraft Servey
