Interview: SCO's Darl McBride and Chris Sontag (CRN)Interview: SCO's Darl McBride and Chris Sontag (CRN)Posted Nov 19, 2003 9:14 UTC (Wed) by climent (subscriber, #7232)Parent article: Interview: SCO's Darl McBride and Chris Sontag (CRN) For one thing, if they actually manage to "kill" the GPL, then the code contributed by all the coders around the world belongs to them, so with which right will be the SCO FUDders selling code that does not belong to them? Sound like they will be selling the <put your favourite claimed code by SCO here> alone. The rest of the code can be put together under whichever license they agree and be released as a advance-linux-kernel-1.0-1.i386.deb Mind you...

Interview: SCO's Darl McBride and Chris Sontag (CRN) Posted Nov 19, 2003 11:14 UTC (Wed) by djabsolut (guest, #12799) [Link] In the remote possibility that GPL v2 gets "killed", the most likely outcome is that the "agreement" parts of GPL v2 would be deemed void. This still leaves us with the copyrights of each author who contributed to the Linux kernel: the bits of source code are still the property of their respective owners. With that still in place, SCO will not be able to claim the linux kernel as its own and will not be able to distribute it. Moreover, each copyright owner can always contribute his/her code to Linux-Phoenix, released under GPL v3 or some other SCO-proofed license agreement (possibly involving real paper and signatures).
Interview: SCO's Darl McBride and Chris Sontag (CRN) Posted Nov 19, 2003 18:45 UTC (Wed) by jabster (guest, #16995) [Link] Here's a question for Darryl:You say the GPL is invalid, yet you sell/distribute SAMBA as part of your product. Given that the GPL IS indeed an illegal/invalid license, have you contacted each and every SAMBA developer requesting permission to distribute their source code? If not, will you indemnify your customers if any SAMBA developer (whose code you are selling/using illegally) decides to sue SCO and/or your customers? ----- SCO-Unix without SAMBA? Who do you think is gonna want THAT? --john
