My SWAG is the photog who leaked this felt these were the only images worth posting 2) didn't have enough privacy to get more shots.

Bottom line - this code will not stay secret forever. IBM is just as capable of chasing down the origins of this code as Bruce and the people at LWN. Perhaps IBM will draft them for research.

SCO had better learn that Unix code has a LONG history, and that the code has evolved a great deal, and they better do a better job of proving they own code before they walk into a courtroom. Because this example does not prove their case.

Interesting this is the only slide they are willing to confront publically.

I just read elsewhere this may be SGI copyright, sorry if that is posted above and I previously missed. This would then be independent of IBM, and would be relevant to any SGI/ATT contracts that may exist, and probably are not listed online anywhere, could that be correct?
