SCO's proof bogus, Linux advocate says (InfoWorld)
The research done by various members of the community was stunningly rapid and effective. Youe analysis was a fitting capstone --well done, sir!
SCO has followed a consistent pattern of responding instantly to every well-publicized criticism with an aggressively self-serving response. It's not a bad PR strategy, as these things go.
But they positively stuttered on this one. It was obviously a body blow.
One can easily imagine the hunted look in Stowell's and Sontag's eyes as they tried to come up with something halfway credible. What I wouldn't give for a film clip!
This would be a good time for a cool counter-response, something along the lines of:
"What SCO calls my 'assertions' were accompanied by a detailed analysis of the code in question. I supplied references and links so that anyone can decide for him- or herself whether I am right. As usual, SCO representatives have responded with a smokescreen, claiming that they know the origin and licensee of the purportedly stolen code, but refusing to name either. Would they care to furnish us with evidence -- any evidence -- for their claims?
Why give them time to recover? Keep them off balance!
