Ok....it looks like most, if not all of the "dirty code" that SCO has identified is in: JFS, NUMA, RCU, and SMP. I'd like to know if SuSE has taken at look at all this and what do they have to say about it. IBM, so far, has simply make a denial but nothing else. This is not looking good people.
Yep, all the areas where SCO did not have anything to offer in the code where the alleged thefts are coming from. And considering that they themselves have been pushing linux under the open source and GPL banner, I for one am not going to lose sleep over this. SCO is gambling everything they have and their grandmother that someone is going to fall for their bluff and cave in. Nothing SCO has done so far has made me think they might have a point. If they did have a genuine point, they would be open about exactly what code was stolen and from where, so it could be rectified. Instead they will show selected bits of code, and under NDA, so if you see what, you can't tell anyone about it. Hardly a way to inspire confidence into others that they are telling the truth. SCO is a pathetic whinging looser company, and the sooner they go bust, the better for everyone. Just my 2p. -- Anders Karlsson <anders@trudheim.com> Trudheim Technology Limited
