Re: [TUHS] SCO sues IBM?

I've just read through the TUHS mail: SCO vs. IBM. I think we're missing the point a bit. The Caldera license places the UNIX research editions 1 to 7, and 32V, under a BSD-style license. Later systems such as System III and System V are not covered. Although the Caldera license helps protect the newer BSDs from license infringement, SCO/Caldera can still sue anybody if they believe that their IP from System III/System V and on has been violated. IBM has a source license to System V and has contributed to Linux. I think that this is the approach that SCO/Caldera are taking in the lawsuit. The BSDs are more immune here, unless BSDI or Apple also have a System V source license. [ Er, um, given the existence of Apples A/UX, they probably do. Ah, I should have kept my mouth shut :-) ] So: I don't think the BSDs or the Unix Archive are under any immediate threat. I agree with whoever that suggested that SCO/Caldera are doing this as a means of raising revenue. Just my $0.02 here. Warren
