n3wbi3 (post 28): "I can almost guarantee they will not address the substance of this rather damning document."

GE (post 34): "Whether or not SCO loses this case, Linux is still a foreign-born clone of UNIX that continues to lower the value of all US-originated software. Every Communist government the world over wouldn't continue to name it their official operating system if it didn't fit into their plans perfectly."

Dang I wish the whether were as predictable

As usual, Jokelaw doesn't give the full story. From news.com:

http://news.com.com/SCO+e-mail+No+smoking+gun+in+Linux+code/2100-7344_3-5789132.html?part=rss&tag=5789132&subj=news

Late Thursday, SCO released an e-mail from Swartz that it points out shows the analysis dates back to 1999 and that SCO says shows that Swartz did find possible issues with Linux.

In the e-mail, dated Oct. 4, 1999, Swartz said that there was some code that was line-for-line identical to Unix and other code that appeared to be rewritten, perhaps to disguise that it was copied.
