All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
Public Lisense.... bad idea??
flap:
Well you couldn't, but I thought he was suggesting Microsoft definitely has done that. Actually I don't think he is. However...

Incorporating GPL code into proprietary software is illegal, it's not just "douche baggish".

"douche baggish"
Lol, that's a new one, it sound's French.
What does it mean?
I would guess it means dodgy/crooked by it's context.

MS bought SCO code for their OS.
All the rest are third party apps.

Okay, so this really is more MS douchebaggery considering that SCO Group never had, doesn't now , and never will own the rights to Linux. Torvalds created the kernel, and though it WAS based IN CONCEPT on UNIX, that does not mean that SCO can automatically cry foul over it. They have to prove that the code was stolen in the first place. They have the burden of proof and have, so far, chosen to bide their time rather than strike with whatever weakass evidence they THINK they may have against him.

Well...
Their does exist a counter claim that SCO used some Linux code, but I don't think MS is stupid enough to buy these parts.
The real SCO vs Linux case has nothing to do with this.
SCO only claims that IBM used some shared code(based on UNIX code), taken from AIX(both SCO
and IBM) and placed it in the Linux kernel.
All the other(even more retarted) claims came later.
