Fred,
I wonder if what AT&T is looking at is the code that they had stolen from FreeBSD back in the eighties. Could it be that that particular "stolen" code that SCO is crying, is actually from FreeBSD? If so, I wonder what that would do to their case, and how long would they last now that they have made SO many enemies? <BWEG>
P.S. Sorry about that, Fred, I did not mean to post directly to you.
Yes...I know. Sometimes I forget to cc the list. This is the only list I'm on that is setup this way. The 1 thing that keeps "popping up" in my mind, is why is SCO so steadfast insistant that they can "prove" the code theft, if they really don't have the evidence? They're now gone beyond the "point of no return," and must pursue a trial. Yet, IBM basically says, " So what? You can pull out ticket. Go soak your sorry heads in a bucket." Anders makes a good point, and for once I'd LIKE to disagree with him, but can't. IBM has some "dirty dealings" in their closet as well. They aren't Mr. Clean. The bottom line is, we just don't know who's telling the truth. Fred -- Planet Earth - a subsidiary of Microsoft®.
