Yeah, and lets hope he isn't the author to finish Jordan's books. I stopped at book 8 of Jordan's. I just bought the latest book of GRRM and skip to the end and decided not to read it. Like the Jordan series, I decided not to read anymore of his books until he finishes the series. Same with the Sword of Truth series. I am 54 years old, I figured I would die before any of these authors would finish their series.
If it was Linux(UNIX), I would have the type 'chmod +x jituxramon.exe' before it would do any harm. Must be the MS-DOS compatibility requirements in Windows.
No they don't. You have to see this from SCO's perspective. A derived work to them is any code that Unix licenscee may have, copyright and/or patents to, but were used in Unix. The code they are looking for was never in SVR5, but code IBM written for AIX, that IBM owns. It doesn't have to based or deived from the SVR5 code. They do not have a copy of AIX code, IBM does. They want to compare this code with the Linux kernel source and see if it is the same. According to them, IBM is not allowed to do this because of their ATT licence agreements. They are assuming that their definition of a derived work is correct. I guess the ATT license wasn't as clear as the GPL on what constituted a derived work.

Thats what the Patent System is for, to corral all those wild ideas, fence them off, and make anyone who can make them work, pay for them.

I don't like confined spaces.
Gosh, You can actually see oil tankers going thru the Straits of Gibralter. Can't see any aircraft carriers.
Since there is no 8th place person, Bill must be 8.
