Re: [TUHS] SCO vs. IBM: Eric Raymond striking a blow for ... something - TUHS

  I find it hard to take a secret No Secrets campaign
seriously. 
That says it well.

...
  That such a campaign exists in the current context
also sounds to
 me like an admission that substantial parts of Linux were in fact
 lifted directly from a licensed UNIX.  That that might be so seems
 surprising; that someone would want to prove it was OK even more so. 
I think it's more of a "How dare anyone even think licensed code was
lifted?  We all know better than that. I'm gonna show you that you don't
even have a leg to stand on."

Whatever.  Anyone with any sense knows that SCO hasn't got much ground
to stand on.  Sadly, "anyone with any sense" likely doesn't cover
the judge and the jury.

Sigh.  (Fade to black, as Dionne Warwick sings "Deja Vu" in the
background...)
