FROM: UNIVERSAL STAKES LOTTERY, IRELAND. (forwarded by Rick Kleffel on the forteana list)
SCOvEveryone: so SCO showed some ‘evidence’ of code-copying from SCO to Linux — problem is, it’s code from UNIX v7, written around 1978/79; the code was released in BSD UNIX, rereleased by SCO/Caldera themselves under a BSD license later, and versions appear in textbooks under public domain. In other words, the SCO ‘pattern analysis’ team who found this ‘copied code’ didn’t realise that this source had been released long ago — even by their own company, no less. ho hum, good luck prosecuting based on that. next!
Blogs: Malte, one of the SpamAssassin dev team, now has a weblog too — and with a better translation of the ‘W32.Blaster caused the blackout’ theory too. ;)
