Remember when SCO said it never released any of its own code under the GPL? Methinks it spoke with forked tongue. I have now had an opportunity to look at files in another Caldera Linux distribution, Caldera OpenLinux 2.3-16, and I see Caldera's GPL fingerprints all over the place, much as I discovered using emacs to open up source files in OpenLinux eServer 2.3 the other day. And Caldera did write code itself that it released under the GPL. It also tweaked GPL'd packages and distributed with its own branding under the GPL. And it can't seem to stop distributing binutils under the GPL, while claiming in the SCO v. IBM lawsuit that it never did so.
Really, there should be a special award for keeping a straight face while babbling the most obvious absurdities. SCO has been busted how many dozens of times for lying, and yet their lawsuits keep going? I hope that the IBM and Novell suits are still alive because Novell and IBM have strategic reasons for keeping them going, and not because the legal system is so easily gamed.
It's just more from SCO's theatre of the absurd. I still have a Caldera OpenLinux 1.2 Lite CD. It's full of GPL code, too, Using it would be a problem since all my hardware is now too new to run that version. I'm sure I can find some 12 year old hardware for next to nothing if I had to prove my point.
