Except of the PDF

=== Q. To your knowledge, do any of the other products -- or do any of the products listed on Page 16, in addition to Linux Technology Preview, include the 2.4 kernel?

A: There was a release of SCO LinuxWare release 7.1.2 that included the Linux kernel personality and SCO Linux-release 7.1.3 included the Linux kernel personality. At first when it first shipped it did include the Linux kernel packages which were subsequently removed.

Q: Which kernel packages did they include?

A: The Linux kernel packages. I -- I don't know which specific ones.

Q: Would it have been a Version 2.4 or higher?

A: Yes.

Q: During what period of time did those products -- that is, the Linux kernel personality -- include the Linux kernel? . . .

A: UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.2 shipped somewhere after the consummation of the transaction between Caldera and acquiring the assets from SCO, so the date is late 2001 or early 2002.

Q: Okay. And what about 7.1.3? . . .

A: Yes. It -- 7.1.3 included the Linux operating system, including the Linux kernel packages, until SCO suspended Linux and removed those packages from the media kit.

Q: Which was when?

A: Which was May of last year.

Q: So until May of last year, Unix -- those two UnixWare 7 releases included the Linux kernel?

A: That's correct.

OUCH!  Now that's going to leave a mark.

Damning testimony.

So if SCO claims their "deep dive" into the Linux code
found matches to SCO Unix code, we now know how that
happened.

For those just joining the story, some years into the
legal action, SCO has yet to show IBM, or the courts,
any actual instances of what they claim. Even the
judge has remarked on the absence of credible evidence.

Entirely apart from whether SCO actually has any grounds
for suing people over Unix (they apparently don't own it
- they are just licensing agents for Novell).

Personally, I'd like to line up every person that has ever had anything to do with the Santa Cruz Operation and beat them all to death!

I can't even tally the man-years I have spent dealing with SCO's crap products and 5th-rate support.

So you're admitting it's all a lie that Linux is free, then right?

Some of us already knew, it's actually a trojan horse, that's sneaks in the door before the lawyers from the (ironically titled) "Free Software Foundation" swoop in and attempt to confiscate everything it touches.
