The code which they are displaying as from linux kernel, is NOT actually from linux kernel. See in the second picture: if (size == 0) return) ((ulong_t NULL); Now, this code doesn't even compile!! The actual code that exists in linux is this: if (size == 0) return((ulong_t) NULL); Now, this could be really dangerous. Moreover, this file is part of only the ia64 port which not even 2% of linux users use. Just why I am supposed to pay SCO ??

Surely you can't mean the same ia64 release of Linux that SCO released on April 15th of this year. That would mean that they had released it under the GPL --AFTER-- they had already made the determination that it was their UNIX-derived code. Surely those clever folks wouldn't make a mistake like that. (o;)
