Yeah, he up to his usual tricks. Just read this snippet:
> (which by default makes it [Unix] legally part of Linux, given the GPL)
Except, of course, for the fact that there isn't any copyrightable Unix in Linux.
But, Rob wouldn't be Rob if he didn't try a sleight of hand or two... Gotta love him for trying :-)

He simply can't stop attacking Ms 'enemies', it is kind of cute in a
The SCO Group: we're not dead yet Posted Aug 14, 2007 16:48 UTC (Tue) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link] Somebody should make a fansite for Rob Enderle. Track what he has done for SCO and bizzare statements and predictions as well as very factual and easily understandable technical reasons about why they are so bizzare, written so that a lay person can understand it.
Then maybe you can have the yearly SCO-Enderle award for creative and unrelenting use of FUD as related to practical technology.
It would be hilarious and be a warning for corporations that would attempt to use propaganda like this to discredit competitors and otherwise engage in behavior that would not only hurt other companies, but their own customers and the state of computer tech in general.

92 F (or 33.3 C) with 90+% humidity.. outdoor choirs like pushing my lawnmower up the long steep hill that other people call my front yard isn't something I want to be doing.
*sob*

The end user can't swap it out with their own build, as far as I'm aware. I would say it's the same licensing issue that prevents LGPL code from going onto a PlayStation game disc, even if any source changes are published. (Unless "Safari" on the iPhone isn't using WebKit...?) --ryan.
