Subject: [TUHS] Fwd: Helping in the battle against SCO
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 19:59:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030911000259.F34D91E83@minnie.tuhs.org> (raw)
I don't see how any diffing we do will make any difference
`in the battle against SCO.' If we find cases in which Linux
has incorporated System V licensed code, that will certainly
be meaningful; but if, as seems likely, we don't, SCO can
just say their tools are better than hours. And besides, it
is SCO who have brought the complaint, so both legally and
ethically it's up to SCO to prove the case, not up to others
to disprove it, no matter what fearsome roars SCO emit.
Comparisons done by others are certainly interesting, and I
don't want to discourage anyone from doing them; just don't
expect it to make any difference to the lawyers. (Not that
I'm one, of course.)
