Linus responds to SCO
Eric has the source, without SCO, and as has been noted, SCO actually
needed help from UNIX Heritage soceity to get System III source *evil
chuckle*
The point is, they smeared Linux, Free & Open Source with accusations
about not respecting IP, never mind that they rely on the same products in
their proprietary offerings eg) samba, and SCO need gcc for decent
development platform.
Now we all know, who is more likely to borrow code. But in general media,
we have been on defensive whole time. Never mind fact, that SCO are
trying to stop IBM, Sequent, SGI etc use the fruits of their own work, in
Linux, which is the real IP theft, it was never SCO's development effort.
So look for ways to have them on defensive, they have a lot to risk from
an independant audit of their stuff. Then when they're back pedalling,
they get hit with the class action you mentioned. Get journalists to ask
them why they won't do X, let them smell who's hiding things, SCO have
spun a good yarn, it's time to dismantle their credibility.
