Re: [TUHS] This is too weird

The poor guy that made the original must be crying that he let SCO use it years ago. The part that confuses me is that I remember there were dotted lines one on the original UNIX history chart that showed non-source-code-copying influences and now even the real UNIX history chart is using only solid lines. It makes MINIX look like it has 7th Ed code in it instead of just being a 7th Ed API implementation from scratch like it is. That's the part that's really on drugs by the time SCO is using it as evidence that there is a Linux pedigree or whatever that connects 7th Ed to Linux. I think the real story is that they want to make as much press as they can since it boosts their stock. Meanwhile every time they say they own UNIX they are complete liars because: To what? Violate their agreements with The Open Group? http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/05/23/1053585678840.html "Reference to the SCO web site shows that they own certain intellectual property and that they correctly attribute the trademark to The Open Group. SCO has never owned "UNIX". SCO is licensed to use the registered trademark UNIX "on and in connection" with their products that have been certified by The Open Group, as are all other licensees," the statement said. "These are the only circumstances in which a licensee may use the trademark UNIX on and in connection with its products. Statements that SCO 'owns the UNIX operating system', has 'licensed UNIX to XYZ' are clearly inaccurate and misleading." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
