Even as SCO dies, the company lies

“This would be funny if only there weren’t people out
there who are fool enough to believe in any anti-Linus lie. I mean,
how dead does SCO have to be before its anti-Linux FUD finally
disappears into the history books? It’s not dead enough yet it
seems.

“In the latest revival of SCO’s long disproved claims that
there’s Unix in Linux, Kevin McBride, brother to SCO’s ex-CEO’s
Darl McBride, claims in the comments to a post about the Lanham Act
at his law firm’s Website that, “after careful review of all these
issues, … Linux DOES violate UNIX copyrights, particularly in
ELF code and related tools (debugger code, etc.), header file code
wherein implementation code (not just the header interface) have
been copied verbatim; STREAMS code; etc. that the Linux community
use without license. Then there is the entire question of the
overall structure and sequence of Linux being almost an exact copy
of UNIX.”

“McBride goes on to write, “There was MUCH more submitted in the
SCO v. IBM case that I cannot disclose publicly because it is
comparison of code produced by IBM under court protective order
that prohibits disclosure.” Oh no! Not the old SCO, “We do have
evidence but we can’t show it to you!” line.”
