[TUHS] Re: SCO's "evidence" (was: RIP Darl McBride former CEO of SCO)

The thing I never got a reasonable answer to was I found code in BSD that was identical to code going back to at least V7. Find bmap() in the UFS code and then find the same in V7. I might be wrong about V7, might be 32V, might be V6. I don't think it matters, it's the same in all of them. bmap() is the code that maps a logical block to a phsyical block, I'm quite familiar with it because I rewrote it to bmap_write() and bmap_read() as part of making UFS do extents: http://mcvoy.com/lm/papers/SunOS.ufs_clustering.pdf When all the lawsuits were going on, since I knew that code really well, I went off and looked and the BSD code at that time had bit for bit identical bmap() implementations. I never understood why BSD could claim they rewrote everything when they clearly had not rewritten that. I've raised this question before and I just went and looked, bmap() has changed. I'm pretty sure I have Kirk's BSD source releases, if I do, I'm 100% sure I can back up what I'm saying. Not sure I care enough to do so, it's all water under the bridge at this point. -- --- Larry McVoy Retired to fishing http://www.mcvoy.com/lm/boat
