The same code is available under the BSD license without the advertising clause in code copyrighted by the University. I assume this code is subject of the USL vs. BSDI lawsuit and its following settlement. I think it's time for the University to say something about the settlement terms, which aren't entirely public although the results are well-known. We can subpoena them in one of the lawsuits, if necessary. If this came down to attribution and the advertising clause in the Caldera license, they'd have no case anyway.

"Identical typing errors in the comments as well as unusual ways of writing would have left traitorous traces, to stated Sontag"

" team for pattern recognition had angeheuert, around ten thousands from program lines to through forests. The few code sequences shown apart from the comments were made to a large extent illegible, alleged, in order to protect SCOs author-genuine"

AFAI can read, "they" are making pretty vague, and in a rogue manner, allegations about the copying "mantra"... there is no conclusive statement that garanties that they are talking about this particular algorithm, and not just showing "pattern" like "Identical typing errors" to prove that Linux/OSS are thieves, even without having stealed anything!...

The clear intention, is to confuse the Linux/OSS community, because it is all ears now, as this almost blowing up of the LWN server is prove, and maintain them as far as possible from defeating is master M$, aligned behind "corporate" interests, and at the same time collect a "FEW" dollars from stock speculation and a few really scared users...

In few words, Plain "Criminal" Diversion...
