SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld)SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld)Posted Sep 12, 2003 13:08 UTC (Fri) by rknop (guest, #66)Parent article: SCO's McBride on his open letter to the Linux community (ComputerWorld)
What we're trying to say is, No.1, intellectual property is very important in establishing this [Linux] platform and to just take this "don't ask, don't tell" methodology [toward IP], we don't think that works. Hee hee. That's pretty funny. Let's look at two things here. One one side, you have a kernel the full source code to which is completely public, the development process of which is completely open, and the history of submissions and who sent in what is completely documented. On the other side we have a company alleging that some of their code is illigitimately in the aforementioned kernel, but which will not specify exactly which code is the problem, nor will reveal just what they are claiming as their "IP". So... who is it who's being secretive here? Who is it here who's doing "don't tell"? (They've surely been asked often enough.) McBride is so full of $#!+ it's a little bit scary to imagine that we all share tremendous common genetic heritage with him. -Rob

And, to stay on topic, McBride seems to be highly evolved slime :)
