Subject: [TUHS] SCO vs. IBM: Eric Raymond striking a blow for ... something

Aharon Robbins:
I just saw this:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/nosecrets/
This either Very Smart or Very Dumb, I'm not sure which.
I will just point out the recursive conflict when he says
I can't talk about how this information will be applied, nor by
who. You'll have to trust me, or at any rate my record as
ambassador to the community ...
I find it hard to take a secret No Secrets campaign seriously.
If I am to be used as an example of something or to promote some
cause, I think it's only fair that the campaigner tell me just
what he's up to first.
That such a campaign exists in the current context also sounds to
me like an admission that substantial parts of Linux were in fact
lifted directly from a licensed UNIX. That that might be so seems
surprising; that someone would want to prove it was OK even more so.
