Depends on whether you believe SCO.

I'd say that SCO have pretty convincingly demonstrated that they
cannot be trusted. Would anyone here sign a contract with SCO
today?

I know I'm well within my rights to port the code.  I've kept copies of 
the license and modified the sources I'm working on to include the 
Caldera license, BSD style.  The only potential problem is that it may 
be a lightning rod and I could loose permission to complete the project.

Just thought I'd pass along the latest SCO craziness.

I'm just reading Groklaw 
http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?story=20031119041719640 
and I'd have to say that  
SCO Group (Quote, Chart) CEO Darl McBride said his company is currently 
comparing source code awarded in a 1994 settlement between AT&T's (Quote, 
Chart) Unix Systems Laboratories and BSD, in which Berkeley's version of the 
Unix source was severed from the proprietary version. 
 
probably describes Darl and co., sitting around a trailerload of raw alcohol 
and scrawling something down on a piece of paper each time someone throws up. 
 
Nothing else describes their recent habits.

Minix is probably next on their list for, oh... I dont know... having
concepts remotely in common with 7th edition?

Maybe SCO should do over the Xinu guys too -- just for a laugh.
Oh, and maybe MWC too, just because McBride has obviously had too much
Jolt Cola, or Southern Comfort, or maybe both... mixed in with a lot of
prozac.

But, in answer to their question about "who would you say Unix belongs
to"... I'd have said The Open Group... but it seems that owning the
source code is more important.

Hmm, radical idea here SCO... but, instead of trying to sue everyone
and his goat, why not make UnixWare better than the festering lump it
is now... then you could compete with IBM and Sun etc - oh, and maybe
even fire the troll who thinks that sed is an interactive editor and
wrote so in the UnixWare manual.

P.S. If SCO are of the opinion that IBM have made AIX available under
open source... where can I get the kernel source? ;)
