[NTLUG:Discuss] SCO, IBM, MS, Linux

[iostream@attbi.com]

SCO has not revealed which code it says might be offending, a german company has
sued them to reveal.  Sco has said it will reveal to a group of its choosing
under NDA to validate their claim, and Linus has recommended someone for that
group, but  basically they are saying they will not make it public until the
trial.  As for now, I would say it is a wait and see... Red Hat has made a
public statement saying basically its customers should have nothing to worry
about, and crap is being flung everywhere...  Even SCO itself cannot seem to
agree, with one executive saying there was nothing in the Kernel itself, and the
CEO coming back and saying there was... 

Clear as Mud?
