MUAHAHAHAH!!!

GNU now has evidence from former SCO employees, that SCO illegally used Linux code w/out telling the open source community what they did.

GNU is accusing SCO of violating the GPL...the plot thickens.  This may be the "Shadow of a Doubt"  that IBM and the Linux community needs to put a dent in SCOs malicious claims

Do not lie! It is the code that has been stolen from SCO, put into Linux, and then taken back into SCO products!

They wouldn't be suing if they didn't have a reason! Oh wait...

Calum:
i was hoping this would happen. Somebody else mentioned it might be code from a BSD type licence that both OSs had used. I hope the FSF has its facts straight though i'd hate to see it lose this one.

For the FSF to have its facts straight it would have to have seen the code in question, which potentially means being bound by SCO's pathetic non disclosure agreement until the case is finished.

SAJChurchey:
This may enable GNU to have a case against SCO and possibly forcing them to show them the code.  They don't have to wait for the SCO v. IBM case to be over first.

They got the info from former employees, which is still enough info to investigate the claim.

They can't enforce their agreement.

Quite a few people questioned its legality.
