For the ancient licenses

The link to the ancient Unix license is removed!

You first need to obtain an Ancient UNIX license from SCO's web site. Once you have clicked on the license, go to the bottom and follow the hyperlink to obtain access to the Unix Archive.

After you fill in your details, you will be emailed the access details. The go to the Unix Archive sites list to find your nearest mirror of the archive.

Once you have been granted access, you can also order the Unix Archive on CD-ROM or other media. This is done on a volunteer basis, so it may take some time. Please volunteer to help out with this effort if you can.

SCO is making a lot of noise. I think I agree with one statement from SCO if I see the ode and the history. Linux is not the operating system that makes a lot of innovation. Do not use samba also anymore in you new OS.It also GNU !!

And you're making this conclusion based on a simple memory allocator?? There's not a lot of ways to implement a memory allocator like that, as one of the previous posts above elegantly demonstrated. There's a _lot_ more to the Linux kernel than just this basic allocator. Try SMP, try the scheduler, try the VM, try integration with XFree, various journaling file systems... one could go on and on.
