SCO invokes DMCA, announces earningsSCO invokes DMCA, announces earningsPosted Dec 22, 2003 17:55 UTC (Mon) by vblum (guest, #1151)Parent article: SCO invokes DMCA, announces earnings
Evidently the ABI code in question was published by (old?) SCO themselves, 2001? Seen on www.heise.de, can anyone comment?

If so, this is easy to fix: The Caldera licence for ancient Unix (if there are similarities, they probably stop there) is BSD-like, and allows any use (including modification, binary derived works, etc) as long as the copyright notices are kept intact.OTOH, the first versions of those files probably came from Minix... IANAL, anyway.

I may be missing a subtlety here, so I'll ask this:Heise claims the code in question as published under the GPL, officially downloadable for 2.4.6 from Caldera. Is Heise wrong in claiming that the GPL was used? If so, how could the linux-abi kit have been linked into the kernel?
