The discussion board is set up!
Click here to enter
our forums.
(Yes, I know they are threaded and don't
have recs like the lamented Yahoo! board.)
It's all about discussing the company we love to hate,
and its litigation against IBM et al.
(SCOXQ/E.com is in no way related to The SCO
Group.)
We've also got room to discuss Unix, Linux, BSD, Solaris,
and whatever tickles your
fancy other than politics and religion.

places for SCOX discussion are:

Some SCO quotes to remember:
"We're finding cases where there is line-by-line code in the Linux kernel that is matching up to our UnixWare code." - Darl McBride (May 1, 2003)
"The month of June is show-and-tell time. Everybody's been clamoring for the code...and we're going to show hundreds of lines of code." - Darl McBride (May 30, 2003)
"They have found already a mountain of code. The DNA of Linux is coming from Unix." - Darl McBride (August 18, 2003)
"So the three [MIT] teams came back independently and validated that there wasn't just a little bit of code showing up inside of Linux from our Unix intellectual property base. There was actually a mountain of code showing up in there." - Darl McBride (August 21, 2003)
"What's at issue is that there is copyrighted Unix System V code, Version 4.1 code, copied into Linux. Whether it is used broadly or not, it is widely published and available." - Chris Sontag (August 26, 2003)
"We've stepped up with 80 direct lines of code and derivative works that amount to thousands of lines - and we're saving the rest for the courtroom." - Darl McBride (August 30, 2003)
"The amount of Unix code in Linux could be greater than 25%. ...That [1,549 lines of allegedly copied code] is just the number identified so far. It will probably end up being a lot higher." - Chris Sontag (September 2, 2003)
"They keep saying we are not showing the code, that we are being deceptive, but we have shown it, literally, to hundreds of people now...We have been very forthcoming. The programs we have identified make up about 20 percent of Linux." - Blake Stowell (September 11, 2003)
"I haven't seen anyone in the Linux community racing to remove these million lines of code from Linux yet." - Chris Sontag (October 8, 2003)
"We showed over a million lines of code and where it has existed. Linus Torvalds has told me that the Linux kernel has around 5 million lines of code. This derivative code accounts for 20 percent of the Linux code base." - Darl McBride (November 28, 2003)
"SCO will present this evidence to the jury, the judge and to the defendant, but it will remain confidential. No one in the public will get to see this" - Blake Stowell (December 16, 2003)
"Everybody's been clamoring for us to show the code. But be careful what you ask for, because we're going to show that and a lot more." - Darl McBride (January 12, 2004)
"We're not going to show two lines of code. We're going to show hundreds of lines of code." - Darl McBride (May 30, 2004)
"Viewed against the backdrop of SCO's plethora of public statements concerning IBM's and others' infringement of SCO's purported copyrights to the UNIX software, it is astonishing that SCO has not offered any competent evidence to create a disputed fact regarding whether IBM has infringed SCO's alleged copyrights through IBM's Linux
activities."
- Judge Dale Kimball (February 8, 2005)

Daily points.. memorialized for when the SCOX yahoo! board evaporates.
A few quick words about myself, if I may. In spite of the "Rajah" nickname, I'm not East Asian. I'm a native-born Midwesterner of Irish, English and German ancestry. I'm a happily married Electrical Engineer with five kids and
ten grandkids at last count. In addition to my day job, I run a small Internet provider, reselling dialup and hosting web sites along with financial consulting to
non-profits.. You can reach me via e-mail here. Disclaimer: I do not now own, and never have owned any SCOX stock, although I did follow and own some SCO back before it changed to Tarentella. My interest in SCOX E/Q is related to my interest in Truth, Justice and the American way.... especially as embodied in FOSS. |
