"They are smoking crack. Their slides said there are [more than] 800,000
lines of SMP code that are "infringing," and they are just off their
rocker. The SMP code was written by a number of Linux people I know well
(I did a lot of the SMP IRQ scalability myself, personally), so their
claims are just ludicrous. And they claim they own JFS [journaled file
system technology] too. Whee. They're not shy about claiming ownership
of other people's code while at the same time beating their breasts
about how they have been wronged. So the SCO people seem to have a few
problems keeping the truth straight, but if there is something they know
all about, it's hypocrisy."
