Thanks for that one! Although I cannot prove it, my experience with some of the developers says to me that they are no so stupid as to blindly put code into the kernel (or anywhere else) without knowing where it came from. Maybe they didn't now it was right out of the Caldera UNIX source, but they at least know the name of the person who submitted it. If that person ever had a @caldera.com or @sco.com email address then I would guess all bets are off. I could imagine that it would be through out if you found and Caldera or SCO name *anywhere* in the code. Hmmmmm.
