What we have here is SCO exploring whether there's any money to be made from operating system companies that are using its Unix intellectual property licenses without permission. The net effect on existing Linux customers should be zero. At most, a few operating system companies using the libraries without permission might eventually have to pay SCO back-dated licensing fees.-- Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, 2003-01-16

I've known for about a week now-known, not assumed, not puzzled it out, known-that SCO had mixed Linux code into Unix. I know it because a source I trusted who was in a position to know had told me that had been the case.

I haven't written it up as news though because the person who's told me this doesn't want their name used and I haven't been able to get anyone else who was at SCO in those days to confirm or deny the story.-- Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, 2003-06-12
