SCO is not licensing LinuxSCO is not licensing LinuxPosted Jul 26, 2003 0:55 UTC (Sat) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954)Parent article: Regarding SCO: What are we waiting for. SCO isn't offering to license Linux. SCO is offering to license the SCO-owned code which is supposedly inside Linux. To use Linux, you need a license from every copyright holder. Though most copyright holders have licensed the public to use their stuff under GPL, SCO claims it is a copyright holder and has not. Note that SCO isn't offering to give people a copy of Linux along with that license either. SCO is not copying or distributing Linux (anymore).

SCO is not licensing Linux Posted Jul 31, 2003 12:44 UTC (Thu) by Wol (guest, #4433) [Link] And the other thing is, by licencing their non-GPL code in linux, they have JUST VOIDED the user's GPL licence!Which means that the user needs to relicence the whole shebang. SCO can't sell them a licence, nor can anyone else. I think there are VERY CLEAR GROUNDS for a lawsuit, should SCO sell any licences which even MENTION linux. Those grounds are fraud, selling goods under false pretences, and extortion. Cheers,
