Lots of info coming in, as people have found the origin of the code that SCO claims is there. Will post in a moment when I compile it.

A picture of code displayed by SCO at the conference:

They apparently switched some of the characters to the Symbol font to obfuscate it. But, it can easily be translated to:

As part of the kernel evolution towards modular naming, the functions malloc and mfree are being renamed to rmalloc and rmfree. Compatibility will be maintained by the following assembler code: (also see mfree/rmfree below)

Another picture:

There are reports of this code being found in 2.11 BSD, which was released in February, 1992. So, the consensus (so far) is that SCO took the code from BSD, as did Linux -- thus confirming there is a common source, and it is isn't SCO.

More to follow. I'm still compiling the info.
