Look, either the kernel has System V code in it (copyright protected, or patented, or both) or it doesn't. This shouldn't be about discovery rules in a court of law for crying out loud. Either copyrighted code is in the kernel or not, and if so why can't SCO prevail??? (they shouldn't and I don't want them to, just a hypothetical question--)
Because there are no copyright protected or patented code in the kernel. If there ever really was, then SCO would put the evidence on the table and the case could go on.
But that is not my real question... my real question is this: How hard would it be to pull M$ hooks out of the kernel (once they're in there) if and when they get discovered a year from now... ? ha-uummm??? Would it take a court order? ---years of litigation? you know... discovery, summary judgment petitions, rules and thousands of pages of B$ .... and all the time M$ has hooks into the kernel...
I don't follow. What hooks might MS have in the kernel and how would that get in the kernel in the first place? -- Andre Truter | Software Consultant | Registered Linux user #185282 Jabber: andre.truter@gmail.com | http://www.trusoft.co.za ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
