V7/usr/sys/sys/malloc.c

		if (bp->m_size >= size) {
			a = bp->m_addr;
			bp->m_addr += size;
			if ((bp->m_size -= size) == 0) {
				do {
					bp++;
					(bp-1)->m_addr = bp->m_addr;
				} while ((bp-1)->m_size = bp->m_size);
			}

The code on SCO's 1st slide is at least as old as V7, which predates System V by some years.

SCO is showing excerpts of their code comments in Greek? Heh, I hope they try that at the trial.

SCO will not win this case by showing comparisons of non-functional comments. Bring on the subpoenas. Let's see a comparison of real code, and hear the testimony of the programmers and the copyright experts.
