SCO has truly done it again.

Truly, it keeps getting better. SCO (back when it was Caldera) has 
violated the BSD license with the very code it accuses Linux of stealing!

Dennis Ritchie himself (one of the original authors of Unix) is saying 
that either he or Ken Thompson (his co-worker at Bell Labs at the time) 
wrote that code early on, before there ever was a Caldera or SCO.
