Someone who has seen the SCO code

(1/1)

mobrien_12:
I found this article at linux journal.

My Visit to SCO, by Ian Lance Taylor.

This guy read the SCO evidence and signed the NDA.  This is an older article (June 2003).

What he had to say was very interesting, and his predictions of SCOs actions was dead on.

He says the 80 lines of code in common was VERY basic and he found it (with the same comments and variable names) in other, non-linux projects on the net.

jasonlane:
Really interesting.

 
quote:            Blake Stowell asked me what I would do if I owned some             proprietary code, and it was being used by other people             without permission. I said that Unix had been widely             distributed for many years, had been published in books              and was not, after all, actually written by anybody at             SCO. I said I didn't think that was easily compared to             more conventional situations. Incidentally, Blake Stowell             worked at Lineo and joined Caldera in 2001. He agreed             that the company had radically changed since that time.

Hmmm, what will transpire?
