Not much can be said yet about SCO's claims yet. The analysts who have seen the examples of supposed theft are under non-disclosure agreements, so they can't talk much about it. Slashdot reported that SCO's evidence is just 80 lines of code, which is not even a drop in the bucket of Linux source (something in the neighborhood of 2500000 lines). A thought I just had: it's possible that both chunks of code look the same because the authors were working from a reference implementation of a driver or other idea. Maybe the actual origin of the source code is the public domain... -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ The computer made me do it / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
