It says SCO for now can't claim that Linux has being using protected Unix code. If SCO goes on doing so, they might have to pay up to E250.000.- in fines. The same goes for SCO Germany (due to a separate court decision in Bremen). This decision is in force until SCO shows evidence for their claims (as was asked for by LinuxTag e.V.) [This I get from other stuff I've read about the matter]. It goes on to describe SCO's woes, that MS gratefully supported SCO's actions, and the suspicion that this is just in order to get bought up. -- Dr. Horst H. von Brand User #22616 counter.li.org Departamento de Informatica Fono: +56 32 654431 Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria +56 32 654239 Casilla 110-V, Valparaiso, Chile Fax: +56 32 797513 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
