Hi all!

>for using Linux because SCO owns part of the code. Is this not irresponsible?
This surely is irresponsible from their side but a slave does what his ma$ter
tells him to do.


>Moreover on 5th December according to court transcripts, the court ordered SCO
to identify within 30 >days, with specificity, the source codes it is claiming
form the basis for its action against IBM. >This has been a major defeat of SCO.
Frustrated, it is putting out allegations against the Linux >community regarding
the DDoS attack !

I think their winning is out of question. As far as I know, the code that SCO is
talking about is
basically an algorithm which has been well defined in "The Design of the Unix
Operating System" by
Maurice J. Bach. And implementation of any algorithm in C will look more or less
the same. So
talking about an algorithm being copied is *SILLY* action from their side. This
question shall
arise there as well. Regarding Distributed Denial of Server (DDoS) attacks, as
mentioned in the already refernce article, DDoS is a technique of early 2000.
Why would an attacker use them knowing that enough patches are already available
for that?

SCO surely is frustrated!
