SCO's proof bogus, Linux advocate says (InfoWorld)

Parent article: SCO's proof bogus, Linux advocate says (InfoWorld)

"His word against ours."

This is the point where all the academics, programmers, system managers, documentation specialists, and legal experts who understand the nature of this problem start wailing on SCO.

This is not his "word" against "ours." This is clear evidence that SCO employees have publicly shown code that is supposed to be theirs, made a big show about it for their shills to write about, and wound up having UNIX experts show SCO for what they are, at least half-way.

I swear, I can't wait until someone proves publicly about the other half.

I have known thieves off and on in my lifetime. Thankfully, they all went to jail for their crimes. But, in every case, they covered up their thieving binges by yelling a blue storm about someone else doing it, often accusing someone who was innocent.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but here in the United States, we have too many white-collar criminals who never receive appropriate justice.

Fines for major corporations must often be good laughs in the boardroom and executive offices when, say, the SEC levies them. No, not all, but it seems from my view, many.

Oh, DOJ, can you "follow the money" in regards to SCO, WordPerfect and other anti-trust crimes? Do you have anyone there at least considering it? It seems worth pursuing. Perhaps a plea-bargain with SCO executives later could be useful-gee, has SCO and their backers covered that possibility in their plans, too???

From his bakers part, IMO always seemed that SCO was to burn... (in a blaze of glory to them(bakers), if possible, of course)

It is also obvious that this sliping out of evidence was not programmed, even a highly trained TECH eye could not tell much about 10 minutes of exposure to obfuscated code in a room full of journalists, specially when he was not prepared for it...

If this marks the end of SCO FUD campaing, wich i doubt, than SCO masters will bury Sontag and Stowell faster than Linux/OSS can say revenge...

BUT I BELIVE THEY WILL BE BACK WITH SUPPOSED "EVIDENCE" THAT HAD THE TRACKS CLEANED PREVIUOSLY,... IMO IS THEIR ONLY CHANCE.

If not than is the end of SCO for sure.
