SCO started investigation of proof after the $1B claim?
SCO started investigation of proof after the $1B claim?

"SCO said that only in the last month or two has it really started analyzing Linux kernels for cases of copying. "
As the claim on IBM was over 3 month old at the time of the visit, I understand the claim was made before investigation of any proof? Sounds strange!

What are you talking about? Of course they had proof: Linux is now an enterprise grade operating system. There's no way on earth it could have got that way without people stealing code from SCO. I was so obvious actually looking and investigating the code isn't really necessary. It had to be IBMs doing as they're the only company currently making money off Linux. Those dirty cheats.

Did you know that IBM spokespeople used to say that about the PC cloners? Again, per H. Rap Brown: "We have an understanding of Karma. What goes around, comes around."
