SCO Turns Up the Heat on Linux Users (eWeek) Posted Aug 19, 2003 9:41 UTC (Tue) by chel (guest, #11544) [Link] You should substract the lines orginating from 2.2 (there was noSCO IP in 2.2) that will raise SCO's IP claims in 2.4 kernels over 100% as "millions" should be much more than 2M
SCO Turns Up the Heat on Linux Users (eWeek) Posted Aug 19, 2003 17:09 UTC (Tue) by sommere (guest, #14168) [Link] That's not quite right either. It is possible that some lines have been deleted between 2.2 and 2.4.A (somewhat) better estimate (although it does include documentation etc..) can be found by: which results in: still, > 1/3 of the code is just silly.
SCO Turns Up the Heat on Linux Users (eWeek) Posted Aug 19, 2003 6:48 UTC (Tue) by kunitz (guest, #3965) [Link] Under the theory, that everything which once upon a time mighthave been linked with AT&T's code is theirs. Seems to me that the UNIX license in the hands of SCO seems quite "viral" and ignores a number of intellectual property rights like patents (RCU), copyright (GPL) and such.
