SCO is not right.

Their argument is that Linux now has capabilities it did not
have prior to the alledged infection of the kernel with Unix
code by IBM.

The capabilities that SCO claims Linux did not have, Linux
in fact DID have years prior to IBMs contribution to the
kernel project.

The inverse is probably more true. SCO probably stole code.

SCOs posistion paper is so full of misrepresentations, false
statements and outright lies, that I really hope that IBM will
move for summary judgement.

ESR has done a wonderful paper on this whole thing.

SCO is *NOT* right. It is not possible for them to be right.
It is much more likely that SCO included GPLed code into
it's product before IBM even came on board, but that is
pure conjecture, and isn't really germane.

SCO IS LYING.
