This week's SCO fun
See groklaw for more information about that. It looks like ESR may have
jumped the gun when he believed the anonymous caller. It looks like either
the attack is still continuing and SCO is denying it or that the attack
didn't happen in the first place. SCO has made major changes to their web
page while it is up.
Three people have called SCO and been told that it was not an attack but
an "upgrade". Their site is still up and down sporadically.
Several people have said this may have been intentional bait for ESR to
distract people from other SCO news: mainly that they are backpedaling on
their BPF claims (AKA obfuscated copying) and that the SYSV malloc copying
(AKA blatant direct copying) is also weak. Then of course there is the
news that MIT doesn't know anything about SCO's "expert" MIT mathematician
pattern analysis team which identified these "offending" items.
