SCO is really really really f*cked now......(those of you who haven't followed this sad, ridiculous saga can just hit the BACK button now).
After years of litigation to discover what, exactly, SCO was suing about, IBM has finally discovered that
SCO's 'mountain of stolen code' is only 326 scattered lines. Worse, most of what is allegedly infringing are comments and simple header files (like
errno.h).
These probably aren't copyrightable for being unoriginal and dictated by externalities and
aren't owned by SCO in any event. Above and beyond that, IBM has at least
five separate licenses for these elements, including the GPL, even if SCO actually owned those lines of code.
LOL!In contrast IBM is able to point out
700,000 lines of code, which they have properly registered copyrights for, which SCO is infringing upon if the Court rules that it
repudiated the GPL.
