198546 2003-12-09 02:44:00 Nice to see some action has finily taken place. Already code which SCO claims was theirs, and thus demanded licensing fees, has been debunked by contributing programmers. mark.p (383)
198547 2003-12-09 07:16:00 They've got until Jan 5th or something to show what these "Millions of Lines of stolen code" really are...

And IIRC from the Video they showed at the last NZLUG meeting for the year, there's about 25million lines of code in the 2.4 kernel release, so they must think a pretty large chunk was stolen!

Stupid thing is that they were still distributing the Source code for the kernel on their ftp site under the GPL T&C's even after they'd begun making allegations IIRC!

How big a grave do you think we need to start digging for SCO?
