Maybe SCO had a pointMaybe SCO had a pointPosted Aug 22, 2003 12:06 UTC (Fri) by pto (guest, #5753)In reply to: Maybe SCO had a point by brouhaha Parent article: Maybe SCO had a point SCO has already listed (in the recent PowerPoint presentation) that hundreds of files and hundreds of thousands of lines of code are infringing. Knowing what files these are won't help, I'm afraid. It's like saying your neighbor's dog destroyed your Rolls-Royce, without any proof that any car ever existed. Your neighbor would be right not to pay up. And no judge will award you damages for anything, even justifiable damages, if you've lied about your case.

Maybe SCO had a point Posted Aug 22, 2003 12:27 UTC (Fri) by sommere (guest, #14168) [Link] But the hundreds of thousands of lines includes mainly code which IBM, SGI, etc own but MAYBE weren't allowed to contribute under contracts they signed.If they were allowed to contribute them, then there is no problem. If they weren't then those lines still aren't infringing on copyright claims, only contract claims with those specific companies. The number of lines lifted directly from SCO's code is probably very small from everything I've read.
